Organic Lasagne

What is Organic Lasagne?

Organic foods are made in a way that limits or excludes the use of synthetic materials during production. Consisting of many tiny granules made from steamed and dried durum wheat, couscous has become a popular alternative to rice and pasta. It has a light fluffy texture which is a little bland in flavour but which readily soaks up the flavours of other ingredients.

Lasagne are long, flat, broad noodles which are ideally suited to layering in a baking dish with an assortment of ingredients which may include meats, cheeses, and tomato sauce.

In Italy, lasagne are totally flat, while American lasagne tend to be ruffled along the edges to help trap sauces. The best lasagne are made from Durum wheat, a particularly hard wheat which stands up to extended cooking, remaining chewy and resilient even after boiling and baking. Some cooks prefer to use special no-boil lasagne noodles, which are layered into a lasagne pan without being precooked. The moisture in the lasagne and the heat of the oven cook these noodles so that they are finished along with the rest of the lasagne.
