Bulb Lasagna Question
Comments (2)Thanks for responding. I keep going back and forth on what I am goign to do with the garden as far as plants go (aside for the boxwoods) I think the bulbs are going to be a pain so Im not going to bother with them. At least that is the sentiment this week lol. Im thinking heuchera berry smoothie and lime marmalade would be nice alternatives to flowers for year round color but someone had brought up a good point about underplantings getting in the way of the spiral topiary maintenance. We'll see how it all ends up I guess lol. The boxwoods (fingers crossed) should go in next month. The other plants wont go in till sometime next year....See MoreLasagna Question
Comments (7)Thank you Nancy and Terri! Everyone I asked around here was giving me a different answer so I thought I would check at the CF. Terri, I used to post here for a long time then I got away from cooking after my Mom died since it is just me I cook for. Now that I have my new kitchen I should spend some more time here. I've got to start giving my new KA mixer a workout - right now it is just a decoration on my counter. LOL I am going away for a girl weekend and I was asked to prepare the food. Those cousins of mine are in for a carboyhydrate rich cheesy chocolately weekend with a little spring salad thrown in and a few bottles of wine of course. LOL I am bringing lasagna, Greek pasta salad, dough to make pizzas, tortilla roll ups, chocolate chip/cherry/skor cookies, 7 layer bars, maybe if I find enough time I will make butter tarts. Spring mixed greens to have with the lasagna. I am trying to find a vinagrette that they might like. My cousin doesn't like Dijon mustard and that is what I put in my vinagrette. LOL Oh well. We are also going to barbeque something but my cousin is in charge of that. All the sauces are cooling so I am ready to start putting the lasagna together. I was just holing off for an answer here. Terri, by the way I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Thanks again. Anne...See MoreLasagna Question?
Comments (13)Just me, but since lasagna noodles are cheap anyway, I wouldn't risk a batch of lasagna by mixing them. It might be just fine and most likely would be, but I would buy another box ($1.00-$2.00?) and use all the same kind. Just my 2 cents. OT, I spent the time to make my own fresh pasta one time for lasagna and it really wasn't worth the effort. Couldn't tell any difference for the extra time and bother. But Linda, that sounds like a great idea for using some of the summers' bounty! I might have to do that too! Duane...See MoreFreezing pasta in make ahead lasagna, etc.
Comments (3)I use the ronzoni no-bake pasta for our lasagna. Comes out great. However, I always freeze already cooked lasagna (leftovers), thaw, and reheat. BTW, here the traditional family recipe we use. I also have a recipe for gravy (sauce) and meatballs if anyone would like it. Sue LASAGNA Either roll home-made lasagna sheets, use the no-boil lasagna from the store, or boil up a bunch of lasagna noodles and use those. Filling: 4 to 5 pounds of ricotta (fresh is awesome and sooo creamy) 4 Eggs (you may only need 3) 1.5 C. grated Romano (Locatelli is best) or Parmesan-Reggiano 1/2 C. Chopped fresh parsley (or 1/4 C dried) 12 oz + 1 Cup Mozzarella - grated -Batch of small meatballs (use your favorite meatball recipe, just make them tiny (1/2") - 4 to 5 C. Gravy (sauce) Mix ricotta, 3 eggs, grated Romano (or Parmesan), parsley, and 12 oz grated mozzarella. If mixture looks dry, add the 4th egg. It shouldn't be runny, but should be very thick. Fold in meatballs. Boil and drain the lasagna noodles (if using) In high-sided baking pan spoon in a cup of sauce and spread over bottom of pan. Add one layer of pasta. Spoon some sauce and spread to cover pasta. Add half of the ricotta/meatball mixture. Spoon some sauce to cover lightly. Layer another layer of pasta. Spoon sauce over to cover lightly. Spread remaining ricotta mixture. Cover with last layer of pasta. Spoon on some sauce. Cover with foil (make venting holes in top). Bake in oven @ 350° for 50 minutes. Check if its done by inserting a knife in the middle. If it comes out piping hot, it's done. Remove foil, sprinkle 1 Cup of mozzarella over top. Bake uncovered for 10 minutes more. Let sit for 15 minutes before cutting otherwise it will ooze all over the place....See Morelindac92
