The inexperienced chef's Experiments #2 | Courgette Lasagna. Moderate Succes.

in cooking •  6 years ago 

It being another Tuesday, and therefor my turn to cook, I decided it was time for another experiment.

My boys tend to only like certain meals (creamspinache with Fishfingers) and I can't stand it anymore.
Plus, I want to learn them to broaden their taste by sampling whatever they don't know.

Coupled with that is the fact that my wife prefers to eat lowcarb. The thought being that you don't have to lose that which you don't gain. Smart thinking.

So I set of on an exploration of lowcarb recipes and came across one that didn't sound to bad and looked good in the pictures.

Courgette Lasagna


To lower the amount of carbs in the meal, it replaced the pasta noodles with prebaked salted courgette.

Ok, that sounded good. I set to work.

It had all sorts of tasty ingredients in it, making me feel quite the chef while preparing it .
There's Ricotta cheese, Mozarella cheese, Parsley, Basilic, Oregano, Tomato cubes and some Parmessan Cheese, with a healthy amount of ground beef.

Can't say that I'm dissapointed with the endresult. It looked great. It tasted good (not great unfortunately) too. I did miss the bite of the pasta noodles, but other than that, not to bad.

Of course the boys hated it (no real surprise there) but at least they tried it. Better luck next experiment I suppose.

If you're still interested, here's the recipe (translated from dutch)

I love Lasagna and used to experiment with it using different vegetables and ingredients. Looks nice and delicious :)

I love it too. Though I’m a carb addict. I prefer the pasta noodle. But this went over ok. so I might experiment more.

What a good attempt! It is good to go incorporating variety.
