I love Lasagna, and I always use the noodles that you do not have to cook email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 71/100. suspenseful (12862)   ranked 1 out of 55 in lasagna7 months ago

I know some make their noodles from scratch, and some use the noodles that you have to boil. There are some that make the sauce from scratch. I use Hunts Tomato Sauce, low fat cottage cheese, and ground beef, and I add lots of oregano and basil. I used the mozzarella cheese that you get from Safeway, not the kind that is just made. Mine turns out all right. I have not made it with the fresh mozzarella cheese nor have I used the ricotta cheese. I figure if you buy that, you have to make the lasagna the same day.
So how do you make yours?

hello suspenseful

i will give everybody here at Mylot a good tip on getting the kind of lasagna noodles that have to be boiled. here is a trick that works every time and it is so easy. bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil, add the lasagna noodles making sure that they are all submerged under the hot water, turn off the heat, let the lasagna noodles sit for fifteen to twenty minutes and presto they are done, they do not tear, and you do not have to worry about them sticking to the bottom of the pan. lol

i love homemade lasagna, i haven't made any in a long time either. i usually add hamburger meat, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, mozerella cheese and parmesean cheese, and egg, and lots of spices and i use a spaghetti sauce in a jar for my sauce. pop it in the oven and let it get hot and bubble and take it out of the oven and yum, homemade lasagna is done, i also add onion to my lasagna.

have a beautiful evening.

that's a great tip, however i do so many noodles at a time that I end up boiling a few at a time, and then take them out and let them sit on waxed paper, and then I boil some more, being that I make a couple batches at a time ......yours sounds a lot like what I do, but no cottage cheese, if I did anything I would add a marscapone cheese to it ----yeah I'm hooked on marscapone.

One of these days I'd really like to make my mother in laws home made gravy, yes gravy not sauce, she uses several kinds of meats in it and simmers it....my husband has told me its his favorite, but on a budget I don't have the money to buy the meats that go in there


Mooch

thanks. and i hear ya about making the lasagna, it is so expensive to make, what i usually do is purchase a few ingredients here and there and then finally i get to make the lasagna when i have all of my ingredients bought. take care.

I liked your idea of keeping the lasagna noodles not to stick. I wish we could get ricotta cheese easy here, though, we really have to look for it. I mean the real ricotta cheese not the kind in the cartons.

I've been afraid to use the non boil noodles! It has seemed that it wouldn't work right! But now maybe I'll have to try them! My lasagna is a lot like yours.. this reminds me to put the lasagna ingredients on my grocery list, cause my daughter said she's make it if I bought the stuff.. and that was three weeks ago! what am I thinkin'?! A night off from cooking! I think I'll get her the new noodles, and she can try them out first! happy


myLot reputation of 71/100. suspenseful (12862)   ranked 1 out of 55 in lasagna  6 months ago

You have to add more sauce. So if you use one can of tomato sauce for the boil yourself noodles, you may have to use two cans for the non boil noodles. So actually you are boiling them in the oven and since the oven heat is dryer, you need more. It is easier though and the recipes are on the packages.


myLot reputation of 91/100. flowerchilde (5839)   ranked 19 out of 55 in lasagna  6 months ago

I haven't had breakfast yet, and now my stomach is really growling! Wish I had some leftover lasagna!thumbup


myLot reputation of 71/100. suspenseful (12862)   ranked 1 out of 55 in lasagna  6 months ago

That's the same with me when someone talks about cheesecake. I get really hungry then. We do get some good frozen lasagna, not the cheap kind, and that is almost as good as homemade.

I always use lot of mozzarella and ricotta. Why do you think it has to be used the same day?

As for the noodles, I learned a neat trick a couple years ago.

You don't have to boil the regular noodles either! Just make your sauce a little thinner (meaning a little more watery than you'd normally like it) and make sure there's plenty of it, and cover the pan with aluminum foil when baking.

When you take it out of the oven, let it set for at least 10 minutes before cutting to serve. The noodles will cook plenty in the sauce, and it won't be near as messy when cutting if you let it set for a bit first.


myLot reputation of 71/100. suspenseful (12862)   ranked 1 out of 55 in lasagna  6 months ago

I am talking about the fresh ricotta, the kind they talk about on the cooking shows. I guess it is because it is warmer where they live, and they have to use it up. Once the lasagna is made, we keep it a couple of days, but that is because it is so good it does not last as long.

I haven't made lasagna in years. But I have made what I call lasagna rolls which I haven't made in a while either. But I boil the lasagna noodles and then spread ground beef coated with spaghetti sauce on them and then roll them up. I then top it with the remaining spaghetti sauce and top with cheese.

I make mine from scratch with my own sauce when I have the time. The guys at home now like Ragu just as well, so I don't know what I'll do next time I make it for them. I use low fat stuff if I'm having diet twinges. It doesn't seem to change the taste too much and I feel less guilty loading up. I also like lasagna best the second day after it sits in the fridge overnight and I heat it up.

I don't pay extra for the no-boil noodles because I use a trick my friend Dixie taught me; she just adds about half a cup of water to her sauce, then after putting the dish together she covers it with plastic wrap and refrigerates overnight, then bakes as usual the next day. Your noodles asbsorb the water overnight and turn out just fine, and you save the extra pennies on the noodles. This can also be frozen-I always make up two dishes of lasagna, freeze one and bake one. It's really, really nice to know I have a great, hearty, homemade meal ready to pop into the oven or to share.

My lasagna is made the old-fashion way, boil the noodles and I only use homemade sauce using tomatoes from my garden. I include green peppers, onions, mushrooms, italian sausage AND ground beef or venision along with low-fat ricotta cheese and mozzarella with fresh-grated pamison/romano cheese sprinkled on top.

myLot reputation of 71/100. suspenseful (12862)   ranked 1 out of 55 in lasagna  7 months ago

I made lasagna noodles when we lived in our old house back in Saskatoon. It turned out all right. I was thinking of getting a noodle maker attachment for our Kitchen aid like they show on Iron Chef America, but it seems that they updated the Kitchenaid from Optinum to Artisan, and I do not think the Artisan noodle makers fit and my Kitchenaid is so good, I cannot see getting a new one. I do have one of those noodle makers you screw on the table, but I do not have that much room, and I do not want to use the dining room table to screw it on to.
