Bolognese sauce is a meat-based pasta sauce originating in Bologna, Italy. Cook a big pot of sauce and freeze the excess sauce in individual serving bags for quick meal solutions. Thaw and warm the sauce in the microwave or saucepan and you have a quick pasta meal in under 15 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 100 grams streaky bacon chopped
• 1 large onion peeled and diced

Note: For lasagna ,you need to get one box of lasagan sheet and a packet of morzella chedded cheese.

 I soak my lasagna sheet in water for 15 mins , before I use.

I am using a 10 inch baking tin . Put some bolognese sauce on the baking tin then put the soaked lasagan sheet on it ,spread some bolognese sauce (make sure you cover the sheet ) then sprinkle some cheese . Repeat the layer again. Lasagna sheet , sauce then cheese  Stop when you are on fifth layer. Last layer should be sauce and cheese only.
Bake the beef lasagna @200 for 25 mins till cheese turn golden brown.

Meatballs with tomato sauce

50g cream crackers
500g minced beef
2 rasher bacon, finely chopped
1 onion, chopped
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley ( I can't get it )
1 egg, beaten
salt
pepper
2 tbsp sunflower oil
400g jar pasta sauce
Pasta

 I didn't use all the meatballs, I kept some in the freezer for next meal.
The meatballs taste good but I felt the sauce lacks of something. Maybe, I should stir fry onion with the meatball oil and then add in the sauce that will be good.

Pizza

Today, I don't feel like making my own pizza crust, a little lazy. I decided to use this packet of crust that I found it in NTUC supermarket, it costs $4.03 for 5 pcs.

It is very easy to make this pizza.

1) take out the crust from the frezzer

2) spread tomatoe paste on it.

3) put all the ingredients and chesse on top. You may put in some italian herbs (my daughter's favourite).

4) put it in the pre heat oven and bake at 170 for 15 to 20 mins.

Pasta

Our dinner for tonight is pasta with meat balls.

My daughter loves the meat balls. I used minced beef & minced pork, breadcrumbs, corn flour, egg, light soy sauce, pepper & Italian herbs.

Western Food

Today, my daughter wants to eat western food for lunch rather than the usual teochew porridge with vegetable. I opened my fridge and I found a packet of frozen dory fish and decided to use that.

I served with egg, hash brown and cucumber .
