I made a lasagne last night which was tasty but not all of the pasta sheets were cooked properly, some were hard - I must have gone wrong somewhere!

Just not baked long enough / enough liquid. I normally make my own fresh pasta sheets as it saves all this and costs pence but another trick when using dried is just to blanche them in boiling water as you lay them down.

Ahhh yeah, I didn't think of that. It was banging though. I will have to try that next time. I put some chopped up pepperoni in too which I enjoyed too. I might make it again towards the end of the week and take a photo of it. I think when I put it in the oven i will cover it for a bit first because the top was burning!!

I once had a pasta machine, but I didn't use it much, I think it frustrated me!
