Homemade lasagna

[Iron Woode]

Damnit, I burned the roof of my mouth.D:

lol

 

[disappoint]

I wonder if some basil mixed in with the spinach might work as well?

Another question: a lot of recipes call for no boil lasagna noodles, but I have better results with regular traditional lasagna noodles. Which do you all use?

 

[Bryophyte]

That sounds good. I had to use dried basil because my plants weren't ready to raid.

 

[ViperXX]

No it's not. You obviously like shit food.

Cottage cheese is the way I make it and the way my mom made it so you can suck a dick.

 

[biostud]

Lasagne is like bacon: whatever you add it's still delicious.

 

[Fritzo]

Use cottage cheese instead of the ricotta that most recipies call for. Yes. It's better.

I mix the two.

Kale and parsley are utterly useless.

Kale and parsley are utterly useless.

That's pretty much incorrect...

Just put a pan of lasagna in the oven. I got a little adventurous. Has anybody ever tried kale in it? Am I going to be sad in an hour when it's done?

I'll be right over. 😀

never tried the kale in it. have you ever tried making lasagna roll ups?
just a different take on the same dish.

I'm thinking kale may have too much water in it, making it soupy. Although I've used arugula before and it came out great. I'll be interested to hear about it.

You can't post about how good it is without pics.

Sounds delicious.

My wife just made this on Monday. We use ricotta cheese like normal people do, though. None of this cottage cheese nonsense. Blech

SON OF A BITCH. I put some lasagna in a container for today's lunch last night and this morning I grabbed it and threw it in a bag. Lunchtime rolls around and I take it out and open it to microwave it, and I find LEFTOVER FUCKING REFRIED BEANS. I grabbed the wrong container.

I like mixing Ricotta and Cottage cheese, as well as some sliced hard boiled egg.

Didn't come out soupy. 🙂

Dem's fightin werdz!

In all seriousness, yes. I'd stake my momma's rep as a cook on it. She's been making it that way for decades.

Cottage cheese is saltier and tangier. Gives the lasagna much more taste.

Plus, ricotta texture is just blech. It's just curdled milk. Not much is done to it.

Adding good aged Parmesan and Asiago, sea salt, fresh ground pepper, herbs, and 1 egg, to the Ricotta, then mixing well, will yield excellent results.

i'm surprised. kale is usually a little bitter, would have thought it would skew the overall flavor quite a bit unless the op uses a very acidic tomato sauce.

Did you build it with dry noodles? We have not precooked the noodles in years. Sauce has enough moisture to do the job.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Any of the dark greens are good in lasagna. Kale, spinach, mustard, turnip, dandelion greens are all good.

Soaked them in water from the hot pot for a few minutes to keep it from sucking up all the sauce. I've done dry noodles a few times and had trouble with it drying out the lasagna more than I liked.

 

[skyking]

Apparently we goop it up with enough sauce to prevent that 😛

Hey, Kelly, we're thinking of taking the boat up to the San Juans in August for a week or two! We'll be up in your neck of the woods.
