Beef Lasagna Filipino Style
Filipino style lasagna might be a little different when it comes to classic lasagna. While the classic lasagna uses special cheese and other ingredients, this recipe is cooked with readily-available and easy to get ingredients.
Instead of marinara, I used the typical tomato sauce as one of the key ingredients for the meat sauce. I also used some simple cheese ingredients for the white / cheese sauce, but you can alternate it with better ones (like mozzarella or cottage cheese) if available.
HOW TO COOK LASAGNA WITHOUT OVEN
If you don’t have oven, you can still cook lasagna. There are a few other ways to do it.
For pan-baking, you will need a large wok or deep pan with lid and a wire rack. In this method, you will need to cook this in a stove-top. Pre-heat the pan in low heat for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, put the wire rack followed by the lasagna in baking dish. Cover and cook in a very low heat for 30 to 40 minutes or until bubbly. In this method, you don’t have to put water in the pan. The dry heat will cook the lasagna.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Just make sure that the pan or pot you’re going to use is made of thick material when trying the pan-baking. As much as possible, avoid stainless steel material as they burn easily.
In a microwave, you will need microwave oven (of course) and microwave-safe baking dish. Layer the lasagna in a microwave safe dish. Microwave for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese topping is completely melted.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Never use metal containers when cooking or baking in a microwave oven. Be sure to use glass or ceramic or any microwave-safe containers.
