Origin Pinot Grigio Organic

The nation's favourite tipple in an organic bundle. A great value wine,Β from Italy's ever popular Pinot Grigio grape. This wine is perfectly balanced with juicy pear and peach notes and soft floral aromas

Description

I made this recipe up over Christmas when the fridge was a bit empty after Christmas celebrations.

Method

  1. 1

    Start by melting the butter in a pan, add the flour and cook for 1 minute on a low heat. Gradually add milk and whisk to a smooth consistency. Season and keep stirring.

    Divide sauce into 2 pans. To 1 pan add the Stilton and stir in until melted. Steam or cook washed water cress in another pan with small amount of water.

    Once the water cress is cooked, drain and chop finely. Add to Stilton sauce. Stir until well mixed.

    Cook the 8 slices of bacon in a frying pan until cooked.

    If not using fresh lasagne sheets then I recommend cooking individual sheets for a few minutes in boiling water as they will be still hard if put straight into dish.

    Add some Stilton and watercress sauce to the bottom of a lasagne dish. Layer lasagne sheets and repeat layers. Pour over remaining white sauce from second pan.

    Sprinkle over parmesan cheese and chop up bacon into strips. cook for 20 minutes until top is crispy .

    Serve with a mixed green salad.
