Microwave Tips - Lasagne
Ingredients List
- A trick I learned while working as a microwave oven demonstrator is that
- cooked lasagne noodles may be replaced by layering flour tortillas and
- thinly sliced Monterey Jack cheese.
- I've found the most convenient way to do this is to slice the tor- tillas
- into 1.5" to 2" strips and placing the jack cheese evenly on top. Layer as
- you would the cooked noodles. While cooking, the two blend together. The
- result is indistinguishable from using cooked noodles except that you will
- experience an extra richness. If the recipe you're using is very simple you
- may even find the results to be better than using the actual noodles since
- it does add a very desirable richness and texture.
- I do not recommend that you use this method in a conventional oven. I've
- tried it and the tortilla/cheese combination seemed to turn to mush and
- lose its definition. Submitted by Lawren Freebody @ Salata BBS.
