Pasta Payesh Chocolate Lasagne
Isn't sounds different? Here comes a innovative Indo-Western fusion dish from my kitchen. Now you can serve lasagne as a dessert. Normally pasta and lasagne both are cheesy and savoury continental dish. Here I have cooked pasta in Indian dessert payesh (authentic Bengali dessert) style and then made lasagne with it. I have also added some chocolate and fresh cream in it which makes it rich. My family loves it very much. If you make this, I am sure its going to be big surprise for your family. So, try it out in your kitchen and enjoy with your family.
