Lasagne Sheets Lasagne
sheets are 16cm wide and 24 cm long. The sheets are separate with a light dusting
of semolina. There are 10 sheets to the 500g packet and are also available in
1 kg bags. We recommend lightly boiling the sheets for about 3-4 minutes before
making the lasagne/cannelloni, although some customers prefer not to and the dish
turns out just as delicious without boiling. The sauce is made a little more liquid
to compensate. Maccherone
di Casa (Home made maccherone) Southern Italian long hollow shaped pasta,
traditionally hand made and served on festive occasions because it was time consuming
task to hand roll strands of pasta. Now customers can enjoy eating maccherone
all year round.
