Do you have a good lasagna recipe?
Nothing fancy, please. I will be the one cooking it. Also, minimal ingredients if that is at all possible but if not, that's fine too.
DH has been traveling like a maniac and he loves this stuff so I thought I'd be nice and make it for when he gets home. Aside from that, I am sick and tired of eating out, and I feel like all we do is eat out. It's too expensive too, so I figured lasagna would be nice. Oh and I'm making pumpkin pie as dessert (had to throw that in, being the AW that I am).
I'm rambling aren't I? I think it's the coffee I just had. i Haven't had coffee in almost 2 months and I am chatterboxing even with my coworkers. Weird. And since mboc is off work today, I don't even have her to send my random BS emails to during the day. Geez, this will be a long day.
Re: Do you have a good lasagna recipe?
lasagna is really easy, dude. just boil the noodles and layer with spaghetti sauce/ricotta/mozzarella. two or three layers, top with mozzarella, and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.
if you want a fabulous marinara sauce recipe that's so easy and cheap it'll bring tears to your eyes, i'll link you.
Thanks! And yes please. Tomatoes are on sale so I can blend them if I have to for the sauce.
Glass pan is needed for this or what? Can I use a pot? Or a foil pan thing?
you could use a foil pan. i love those despite the fact that they aren't very green or MM, because i hate scrubbing.
my sauce recipe uses canned tomatoes - you can find them for like $.50 a can if you have a fresh & easy nearby, or target has them for that price too. here's the recipe. it's seriously so easy and delicious. it's the teen's #1 favorite thing to eat.
really? i never buy these, it just seems weird to me. i just buy the regular ones and boil them before assembling.
I tried using the no boil ones once and H requested I never use them again.
this is such a PITA!
I thought you just put the unboiled noodles in the pan and the sauce and heat would cook them.
Yikes.
yes, but buy the no boil ones. although I don't know if there is really a diff.
OMG, d. i could swear i specified in my first reply that you BOIL the noodles first.
I emailed myself this link so I could follow the recipe later. In my head, I always thought you just put the unboiled noodles in there. I've never made lasagna before. This should be interesting.
