DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a packaged food product using sheet-shaped pasta "lasagna", and more particularly to lasagna pieces (not only small pieces of lasagna in the present invention) in a raw material source at the bottom of the container. (Including other types of pasta pieces) can be mixed together and only one lasagna is used to separate the sauces. The present invention relates to a packaged food having a similar appearance and texture and easy to manufacture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art "Lasagna" is a type of sheet-like (flat) pasta, also called "lasagna". Food using this lasagna usually uses at least two or more pieces of lasagna, with meat, Meat sauce or tomato sauce made from fish, vegetables, etc. is sandwiched, and the top layer is covered with white sauce or the like and cheese topping and baked, and then served to the table. For example, as foods using lasagna that are generally marketed or served in restaurants,
Filled with meat sauce at least on the bottom side of the container, laid lasagna on it, further laminating meat sauce and lasagna sequentially in layers, filling the container opening side with white sauce, topping cheese on it and baking it Things are widely known.

[0003]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned foods in which lasagna and sauces are stacked in a multi-layered manner, in producing such foods, there are many repetitive operations of alternately supplying lasagna and sauces into a container. However, mass production of this has a drawback that the production efficiency is extremely low, and this solution has been demanded. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a food in a container which has good production efficiency when mass-produced, and which is not inferior in taste and appearance to conventional products.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems The inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive studies to achieve the above object, and as a result, for example, in the case of a packaged food in which two pieces of lasagna are used to separate a sauce, two pieces of lasagna are used. Instead, prepare cut pieces of lasagna (or other types of sheet-shaped pasta pieces) in an amount corresponding to the lasagna on the lower side, mix this in advance with sauces such as meat sauce, and then add Fill on the side,
If the top lasagna is placed as it is on top of it and then it is filled with white sauce etc. as before, it is possible to obtain a packaged food that is efficient and has the same appearance and texture as conventional products And completed the present invention.

[0005] That is, the food in a container of the present invention is prepared by filling a bottom portion of a container with sauces in which at least a plurality of lasagna pieces are mixed, and filling an opening side with a sauce of the same type or a different type as the bottom side sauces. And the source is divided by lasagna. At this time, the sauces to mix the lasagna pieces are meat sauce or tomato sauce, and the sauces to be filled into the opening side have the same flavor as the lasagna-based food which is generally often appreciated if white sauce is used. It is good because it can be obtained. In addition, if powdered cheese and / or small pieces of cheese are placed on the upper surface of the white sauce, the appearance and flavor can be further appetizing. Furthermore, if these are refrigerated or frozen, it is possible to endure long-term storage and to make lasagna foods excellent in distribution.

[0006] The container used in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is heat-resistant, and can be selected from, for example, ceramic, glass, aluminum, synthetic resin, heat-resistant paper and the like. Also,
Examples of the sauces according to the present invention include known sauces such as meat sauce (including bolognese sauce), tomato sauce, white sauce, cream sauce, and bechamel sauce, and these may be used in any combination as desired. It is possible to add cheese or the like that melts by heating, and there is no particular limitation. However, it is important to mix lasagna pieces with the sauces to be filled on the bottom side of the container. Lasagna pieces according to the present invention, for example, strong flour,
Eggs, water, etc. are kneaded and stretched to a thickness of about 1 mm as usual, and the lasagna produced is shredded into pieces, or other commercially available sheet-type pasta pieces can be used as they are. it can. The sheet-like pasta pieces include not only a completely flat plate shape but also, for example, a taco line, a ribbon noodle, a farfare, a conchiglie, etc., which are mainly formed in a flat plate shape and have some characteristic forms. In addition, it is preferable that the lasagna piece has a substantially quadrilateral planar shape because it can be made to be the closest to the conventional product in appearance and texture. Furthermore, since the plurality of lasagna pieces according to the present invention are used in place of one lasagna piece (or two or more pieces depending on the product type), the quantity is the total weight of the finished food in a container. It is preferable to set at least one lasagna. Also, lasagna and lasagna pieces,
Any of raw, dried and boiled products can be appropriately selected and used. Further, when producing the lasagna and the lasagna pieces, for example, a lotus grass, a tomato or other vegetables may be mixed in the raw material so as to be rich in color.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings of embodiments. FIG. 1 is a sectional view of one embodiment of the present invention. On the bottom side in a container 1 made of a heat-resistant synthetic resin (crystallized polyethylene terephthalate), 74 g of a meat sauce (bottom side source 2) manufactured by a conventional method and a plurality of lasagna pieces 5, 5, 5 previously boiled are placed. ... 3
The mixed meat sauce is filled with 104 g of lasagna pieces mixed with 0 g, and lasagna 3 (15 g) boiled for 10 minutes is placed on the mixed meat sauce, and white sauce is placed on the lasagna 3, that is, on the opening side of the container 1. (Opening side source) 7 is filled with 100 g. Further, a total of 15 g of cheese lumps 4, 4, 4,... And powdered cheeses 6, 6, 6,. The cheese lumps 4, 4, 4,...

Powder cheese. In this embodiment, the heat-resistant container 1 is packed with a lid 8 made of a hard synthetic resin (stretched polystyrene) to protect the upper side thereof. When serving at mealtime,
The lid 8 is removed and the mixture is directly heated in an oven or the like to melt the small cheese pieces 4, 4, 4,... On the surface, and heat-treated until the powdered cheeses 6, 6, 6,. Note that this heat treatment may be performed in advance at the time of manufacture, and the food may be eaten only by heating in a microwave oven or the like.

The form of the finished product of this embodiment is suitable for long-term storage by refrigeration or freezing beforehand, regardless of the presence or absence of the above-mentioned heat treatment, when the product is put on the market. In this embodiment, the bottom source 2 of the container 1 is used.
