I decided to make a lasagna today and thought I'd post some pics for the board. This is all I have so far but I'll post a couple more when it comes out of the oven.























It really came out well. Next time I might try grating the Mozzarella.

Howd you do the tomato sauce?

And you lose a point for using bag mozzarel

But of course IWEI

a couple of cans of cento tomato sauce and paste and some water

the recipe called for 24 oz of mozzarella. I didn't feel like grating a lb of cheese and honestly i don't think it makes that big of a difference with mozz in this dish. the parm is grated though.

That looks good!

Since you're buying pre-shredded cheese anyway, I would suggest using 1/2 motz and 1/2 American Melt cheese. It adds a level of flavor.

I would also suggest mixing beaten egg, parm and parsley into the ricotta.

Confession: I have no qualms about using canned spaghetti sauce in my lasagna.

Looks good. IWEI. I would definitely take the 5-10 minutes out of my life to grate cheese, though.

Also, how did you make the tomato sauce?

EDIT: Just found my answer to the tomato sauce question. Well done, nate

Looks good. I use whole milk mozz and if using a large quantity, grate it in the food processor. Big difference for me, but probably not the norm.

Thanks Gris Gris, I'll give that a shot next time.

Use ground pork and ground veal instead of ground beef. It makes a much better tasting lasagne.

It looks very nice. I learned how to cook lasagne in Italy though so there's definitely things I'd do differently.

I'd make the sauce from scratch. I wouldn't use ricotta. I'd make a bechamel sauce. I'd use grated parmagiano reggiano cheese. Sometimes I add a little truffle in as well.

Italian truffle salt for the win. Agree with you there. We use on everything from steaks to pasta. We like this one:

Looks good, but not cheesy enough for my taste.

Try the no boil pasta sheets next time. Saves a lot of work.

I like to add different mushrooms to mine.
