Even vegetarians will find a recipe to their liking. And if the easiest way to buy lavash is in a store, then we will prepare the sauce and filling ourselves.

"Lazy" version with minced meat

This recipe is great for those who do not have enough time for culinary delights at home. We will do without the bolognese sauce, which is traditionally used in lasagna, leaving only minced meat, cheese and bechamel. Minced meat can be from any lean meat, such as chicken.

For a quick lasagna you will need:

• 1 package of lavash;
• 500 g minced meat;
• 200 g of cheese;
• 1 onion onion;
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil.

This recipe is for 6 servings. Cooking will take you 40 minutes.

For the sauce, take the following ingredients:

• 380 ml of milk;
• 150 g butter;
• 3 heaped tablespoons of flour;
• 2 teaspoons of sugar;
• 1 teaspoon of salt.

The peculiarity of lazy lasagna is that its preparation does not take much time.

1. Peel and finely chop the onion. Add it to a preheated skillet with oil and fry until golden brown, stirring all the time.
2. Put the minced meat on the onion and fry until half cooked (until it ceases to be pink). Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat. The filling is ready.
3. Prepare the sauce. To do this, melt the butter in a deep frying pan or saucepan. Add flour to it, sauté until golden brown.
4. Pour in milk gradually, stirring until smooth with a whisk. Add sugar and salt. Cook the sauce over low heat until it thickens. Don't forget to stir it.
5. Start assembling the lasagna. Take a suitable shape and cut the pita bread to size. Put one sheet on the bottom, spread part of the minced meat filling over it. The next layer is a little sauce, then grated cheese. Cover with a second sheet of pita bread, press lightly.
6. Repeat alternating layers several times until the filling ends. Sprinkle the last sheet of pita bread with grated cheese.
7. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees without overheating. If your device does not have such a function, then cover the lasagna dish with foil. It will take 25 minutes to bake. The lazy lasagna is ready!

Cooking in a slow cooker

We have written more than once about what a wonderful kitchen helper it is for all lovers of culinary art. For example, in this article, we learned how to cook kiwi jam in a slow cooker. And lavash lasagna in a slow cooker can also be cooked. True, it will take more time than soup, stew or porridge, but it's worth it.

In a slow cooker, lasagne turns out to be juicy and fragrant.

We'll also experiment a little, and use tomato ketchup and 150 g of low-fat yogurt without fillers as a sauce. Can be mixed with sour cream and mayonnaise (1/2 cup of each ingredient).

Foods you need for lasagna

For the lasagna itself you will need:

• 300 g lavash;
• 600 g ground beef;
• 400 g of champignons;
• 12 cherry tomatoes (or 2 large tomatoes);
• 1 carrot;
• 1 onion;
• grated cheese.

1. First, prepare the food: grate the carrots, finely chop onions, mushrooms, tomatoes. Mix all this with minced meat and load into a multicooker. Select the "frying" mode, set the time to 15 minutes.
2. While the filling is browning, mix the ketchup and yogurt thoroughly. You can add your favorite seasonings if you like.
3. Having prepared the sauce, cut the pita bread into 6 equal pieces.
4. Meanwhile, the filling for the lasagna has already been prepared. Put it out of the multicooker in a separate bowl.
5. Put the first sheet of pita bread on the bottom of the bowl, and the filling on it. Cover with a second sheet, grease it thickly with sauce. Alternate again: lavash, filling, pita bread, sauce until the sheets run out.
6. Grease the top with sauce, select the baking program and turn on the multicooker. After 20 minutes, you can open it, sprinkle with grated cheese on top of the sauce and close again. After another 20 minutes, the lasagne is completely ready.
