However lasagne is one of those recipes where there is no definitive method, one of those recipes where each and every household has their own recipe which each of them consider it to be "truly authentic and the best". So if yours works and tastes good with eggs, that would be great!! Maybe I will try that someday myself!! I don't add eggs to the cheese.
I think there's enough cholesterol in the dish without adding the eggs! I always add an egg or two because that's what my recipe calls for. I use the one on the noodle box, with a few variations. I figure the people who make the lasagna noodles know the best way to prepare the dish. Is it right or wrong, I have no idea, I just do it. I never used eggs 'cause I didn't know better But, I never used ricotta because we didn't have any the first time I made it and subed cottage cheese instead.
Yeah, I've got a lot to learn, but hey, it was a Betty Crocker recipe and everyone liked it! It's really fun to see different variations and I certainly am ready to try several. I had never even heard of putting eggs in lasagna. I hate ricotta in my lasagna and love it with cottage cheese. I'm curious now about whether eggs would make any difference in my recipe, but since I love it the way I have always done it and my mom before me , I think I'll save my eggs for something else.
Grumblebee - thought you might enjoy Asparagus Lasagna. BB code is On. Smilies are On. Trackbacks are Off. Pingbacks are Off. Refbacks are Off. Sounds bizarre, but it's true. If you make the lasagna ahead and leave it in the fridge overnight, the flavors blend perfectly, no cooking required. I layered everything in this order: sauce-noodles-ricotta mixture-sauce-meat-shredded mozzerella Following this method, I had the whole thing put together and in the fridge in less than an hour.
It sat overnight and my husband had it in the oven when I got home from work. Fantastic recipe! This really is World's Best Lasagna! I also doubled the filling ingredients and made three layers instead of two. Everyone raved about the lasagna and I have sauce left over for another use. Brands such as Sierra or Polly-O.
There is no comparison to the taste or texture of supermarket brands. I think that's why I see recipes with regular cottage cheese instead of riccota. I don't use supermarket riccota under any circumstances, it's just plain nasty! I've convinced 3 now-ex boyfriends, my husband, and even a couple Italian friends at school that I make the most incredible lasagna they've ever tasted with this recipe.
I make it pretty much as shown, except if I have the time, I let the sauce simmer on the stove as long as possible. I also add a bit of whatever red wine I have on hand to the sauce.
And I try to make a double recipe, so I can use the sauce for other things - it works wonderfully for Chicken Parmesan, plain ol' spaghetti, and anywhere else you'd use a red sauce. Everything tastes better the second day, too. Oh, one more thing - I never boil my noodles. I simply buy regular dried noodles, and make sure I have plenty of sauce in the lasagna. It cooks long enough that the noodles boil in the oven, and you end up with a lasagna that isn't runny and holds its shape well.
I read all the reviews and really followed "Cookerbob"'s advise. Here's what I changed: used 1 lb. LEAN gr. I read the reviews about omitting the fennel and I have to disagree. I believe the fennel is one of the ingredients that makes this dish outstanding. I made the sauce the day before and simmered for 6 hours. Sounds like a lot of work but come on!
How hard is it to check a pot simmering??! I had enough sauce for 2 pans of lasagna so that's what I did. Made 2 baked one and froze the other.
I just finally made my frozen one yesterday. I allowed it to thaw in the fridge overnight and then baked as directed.
Just as delicious as the first batch!!! My hubby is a lasagna snob and says this is the best lasagna recipe ever. I totally agree! I quadrupled this recipe for 32 men, and it went over so well I made a few changes to this recipe based on past reviews and am glad I did I had to read through a lot of reviews to figure out what to do with the italian sausage, as it doesn't explan in the recipe how to cook that I suggest going with your taste This was very good.
It didn't fit in my 9 x 13 pan, but worked out fine by placing part of the ingredients in a loaf pan. Caution: skip the tablespoon of salt! Have you EVER heard of a recipe that calls for a full tablespoon? Between the cheeses and the canned tomato products, no additional salt was needed. This recipe would easily be a base for your favorite additions: spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, etc. Other reviewers were absolutely correct: plan to make this the day before serving.
It makes all the difference in the blending of flavors and incredible taste. I served this with homemade cheese bread and a crisp green salad. Michelle Roth-Kiva. You can add the mashed potatoes right to your ricotta mixture, just as you would with the egg. Tofu works in many recipes as an egg substitute.
For the best results, beat or puree the tofu before using it in your recipe. Aquafaba is the leftover water from canned beans. The bean taste will disappear when cooking. Use about three tablespoons in place of each egg. This is an excellent binding ingredient that we often throw away without even realizing its usefulness! Mix a bit of cornstarch into heavy cream and put that mixture in your ricotta. These two common ingredients put together will yield one of the creamiest egg substitutes you can find for your lasagna.
Most lasagnas have three to four layers. Beyond that, your decision on how many layers to use is up to you! Things to consider include the size of your pan and the number of people you plan to feed. You generally want to layer your lasagna to fill the pan, and if you are feeding a crowd, you can go up to six layers! Check out our post on lasagna layers to learn more about how many layers to use and what to put in each layer.
As you know, nobody likes a runny lasagna that falls apart when you serve it. While the egg in your lasagna dish will act as a great binder for the cheese and ultimately the layers in your lasagna, your dish can still fall apart if you serve it too soon. The best way to cut your lasagna without it falling apart is to let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes after taking it out of the oven. This allows the dish to properly set so that you can cut into it and serve up a beautiful square of lasagna.
You also have a great list of egg substitute options if you have run out or have dietary restrictions. It might save you some time if you went with the Bechamel sauce we told you about.
