Lasagne

[Tim Campbell]

So I made a really untraditional lasagne last weekend. Very tasty. Inspired by a recipe from years back...can't remember the source but I've made this several times and it's always a hit. Again, quite untraditional...purists beware.

I often make my own pasta. My wife (Italian heritage) has a great saying: "Why make it when (insert brand name here) makes a perfectly acceptable product?" I abide by this rule when it comes to things like phyllo, for example, or certain pasta brands. But my ravioli are really good, and she gets it. I'm mostly Scotch-Irish fwiw.

So this whole lasagne is built around my homemade cheese ravioli. It's a great shortcut but totally unorthodox. 3 dozen homemade cheese ravs for this cook. And that's the only challenging thing about this. I used a really good jarred sauce, good basil, and some grated cheeses. Baked for a while and served with a Caesar. Not many pics...sorry.

Almost a weekend, folks. Enjoy.

That looks fantastic, I'll take a double order

 

[Josh Dekubber]

I've been wanting Lasagna! Looks Fantastic Tim!

 

[Steve Hoch]

Looks delicious, I thought you were going to say you made it with cottage cheese as for the reason it was unorthodox

Got me an Italian woman myself, 26yr and still love her to death! I make most of the Italian dishes myself though she has learned from me to make a pretty good lasagna.

Awesome Tim.....the ravioli sounds interesting, probably makes for an interesting layer.
I personally love tons of mushrooms in mine which again probably is not very traditional.

Thanks, Darryl. I also love mushrooms but my wife won't eat them.
