I make my lasagna gluten free, with ground turkey and roasted tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, zucchini and spinach. And homemade ricotta. It's delicious if inauthentic.
I make lasagne regularly. I really don't liek berchamel, so i eitehr skip it completely or use creme fraiche on the top layer only. And i never understand this american concept of "look how we add more cheese and fat then an entire family should eat in a week and that makes it great". No, it does not.
Sloppy as fuck, I'm sure it tastes fine. But not thirty-fuckin-six dollars good. How do restaraunts manage to make cheap comfort food worse than even an amateur cook can make; and charge so much?
Don’t misunderstand, I used caps in anger, I hate ricotta. I’ve never made a lasagna. My mom always used it, and now my wife does too. I assumed that’s how it was made and so never ate it.
While I would like to know how to make REAL Italian lasagna (I know this thing here is not it), my creation isn't half bad and does not use heavy cream.
I've seen diners in NJ that use a better bechemel sauce. It is not supposed to be that runny.
You got to let it sit for at least 15 minutes to solidify after pulling directly from the oven. I could never let it sit either LOL oh my lasagnas were like soup!
Too much drizzling of sauces and cheese. So many food videos are like this. It's as if there's this compulsion to put EVERYTHING on it, and that's how you ruin it.
Most "italian" food shown here would make real italians rotate in their graves. Not even chefs, every one of them who has ever eaten home-made lasagna or pizza. It's like Döner Kebab as known in Germany has barely anything to do with the original turkish version served on a plate.
Lasagna is my favorite. Last January I made an incredible lasagna, then from February thru April I was incredibly sick with everything from Covid to sinus infections to shingles and now I’m severely lactose intolerant and can’t have lasagna. So always have lasagna. You never know when you’re eating your last plate of lasagna 😭
Unless Lasagna to your is of the more-cheese-than-anything-else variety it should be faily simple to make it lactose free. The italian original has very little cheese. The bechamel can be done with lactose free milk and the only cheese is parmesan or pecorino wich have very little lactose (< 0,1g/100g).
I don’t understand why you’d use veal and pork and beef together, you’re not going to be able to taste it through everything else so why not keep it simple?
Mixing meats is great, but yeah for something like a ragu it won't make a huge difference. But please do mix beef and pork and whatever else for stuff like meatballs. It's fantastic.
I normally just do standard bechamel - 1:1:10 ratio of Butter : Flour : Milk (e.g., 50g butter, 50g flour, 500ml milk) and then add a good handful extra mature cheddar, enough to make it lovely creamy cheesy texture
Yea I would rather have the home cooked stuff, the one above doesnt look that appealing and the tiktok voice over is doing nothing but kissing ass because again its just a voice over
Mine's better! 13 cheese expertly blended and patterned to give a unique flavor profile to each bite. Plus, i make my sauce from scratch with a recipe I've been perfecting over the past 20 years.
Oh. I also don't put all my cheese on the same layer. I do pasta, meat with ricotta and cottage, pasta, cheese blends, pasta, meat and those two, pasta, cheese on top. The top layer gets some different cheeses than the inner cheese layer. 😜
Bechamel is super easy and quick, but pasta takes time, space, and equipment. I'll make pasta for simpler dishes, but the flavor of the pasta isn't as prominent in the complex flavors of lasagna so I'll go with store bought every time.

Where is the mozzarella?

Too much meat
Sparkmateriality
That seems a bit expensive. Im going to keep to the home cooked version of lasagna.
ArchMagos
The Costco take home and bake version? Those are delicious
SoopahFly
That looks really delicious, but $36 for a serving? In this economy? It's a no for me dawg.

God, I hate that bloke. Most obnoxious food tik toker there is. I am surprised he is not a US American.

reminds me of school cafeteria food "pizza," burritos and "lasagna." nasty stuff back then.

No, no, no, if God created that lasagna there would only be six layers.

I’d probably like this. I usually don’t like lasagna because I don’t like the texture of ricotta cheese.
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
Who the eff puts fricking _ricotta_ in lasagne?? Ewwww
rabbihimself
EVERYONE I KNOW.
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
Ok but NOBODY IN ITALY DOES.
What do you use for besciamella, out of morbid curiosity? That would be the “white sauce “.

so except tomatoes theres no veg ?

I don't remember lasagna supposed to be having vegetables.

I was with them until they started to smother it in gravy, no thanks.

I was never ablo to take out a nicely piled square of lasagna out of the pan.

All that and not even gonna share where we can get some for ourselves? Shame, OP!

I remember seeing someone post this shitty las sag nah before. Take suck my balls for $36
berlinson
Bechemel is not meant to be as runny as milk, also, was that cream poured straight over the lasagne at the end??
genida
Ye, straight up heavy cream.
spaghettron3000
Yeah but that's not unusual. Italian pink sauce is pretty much just tomato sauce with cream. It's pretty nice.
berlinson
American Italian or Italian Italian?

Is that $36 for the whole pan or just a slice?

You can make homemade ricotta REALLY easy with lactaid and lemon juice and a mesh strainer. I made lasagna with hummus once too.

CALAMOSCOPYJANE
Ya it’s generally terrible looking, that lasagne.
phalanxausage
I taste an enormous difference when I make my bolognese with all beef versus beef and pork. I don't bother with veal.
mikeatike
Its great for meatballs. But I duno if it would work in a sauce. Especially when its buried in so much other shit.
Picturesgetyourpictures
This isn't about how it tastes. This is about how it looks on the 'gram
ShoggothTree
You'd be able to taste the pork through that, but I do agree that the veal is a waste
spaghettron3000
Mixing meats is great, but yeah for something like a ragu it won't make a huge difference. But please do mix beef and pork and whatever else for stuff like meatballs. It's fantastic.
WhatTheFrog
It will. Beef alone isn't tasty enough, but mixed with pork (which is a lot fatter), it'll take your Ragu to a whole new level.
spaghettron3000
Ground beef and ground pork come with the same range of fat content, anywhere from 10-30%. It's just different flavors.
BarryTheCyborg
Random fun fact: deer meat is too lean for ground meat, so they add beef or pork fat when grinding it. Pork fat mix tastes better.
HowlingRollercoaster2
I always prefer to use both beef and Italian sausage for lasagna especially
YoursIsNoDisgrace
I'd rather have my own.
tidepool
I like Stouffers classic.
LiillooDallasMultipass
Yep, same, I'd choose my own too. Yours looks great. I would definitely devour it. Also the white sause in the clip looks THIN!
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
It’s called besciamella, and it’s the key.
LiillooDallasMultipass
Oh, I know what it is, I just make mine way more creamy and velvety and thick
deadpoolislovedeadpoolislife
Could I have a recipe so I can try it out?

Ok but do you make your own besciamella from scratch too? And your own noodles?
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
I didn't use a bechamel sauce. On my bolognaise layers, i make a checkerboard of ricotta and cottage cheese.
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
Oh. I also don't put all my cheese on the same layer. I do pasta, meat with ricotta and cottage, pasta, cheese blends, pasta, meat and those two, pasta, cheese on top. The top layer gets some different cheeses than the inner cheese layer. 😜
