PLASAGNA RECIPE WITH VARO JOLLOF SAUCE
Unlike the popular Lasagna recipe which is an Italian dish made of layers of pasta sheets, meat sauce, cheese, and sometimes vegetables, our Plasagna recipe is made with fried plantain layered with cheese, mince sauce and the Varo Jollof Sauce. It can be served as a main course with a side of garlic bread and fresh salad.
