Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick frypan

13. Repeat process with the next two layers and cover the top layer with remaining pasta sheets
15. Add optional cheese sauce (below)
16. Cover with foil, making sure that the foil is not touching the cheese or it will stick and bake in the oven covered for 30 minutes
17. Bake a further 5-10 minutes uncovered to brown the cheese on top

    I find your recipe intriguing. I never start a lasagne with pasta...I always start it with the meat sauce.
    Thankyou for your adaptation. I love to see different versions of things :)
