Lasagne Sheets

Our answer

Nigella's Pumpkin And Goat's Cheese Lasagne (from NIGELLA CHRISTMAS) is an easy to make vegetarian lasagne that is good for feeding a crowd. Nigella has used fresh lasagne sheets in the recipe as they cook very quickly and simply need to be layered into the dish.

We suspect it would be possible to use the "no need to pre-cook" type of dried lasagne sheets, particularly as the sauce is initially fairly liquid, so the pasta sheets will be able to absorb some of the liquid. However you will probably not get as much spare tomato sauce in the bottom of the dish to mop up with bread. Some lasagne sheets can also take longer to cook so we suggest that after the initial 1 hour of cooking time you insert a small, sharp knife or a cake tester into the centre of the lasagne to make sure that the pasta is cooked through. If there is any resistance in the centre then return the lasagne to the oven for a further 10 minutes and check again (cover the dish with foil if the top of the lasagne is becoming too dark). However we would mention that as we have not tried the recipe with this particular ingredient, we are unable to guarantee the results.
