Oh yes, more lasagna. I loves me some lasagna.I made it for my girlfriend and myself. It was a new recipe that I worked with, that included making my own sauce and cheese filling, rather than relying on a bottled sauce or a tub of cottage cheese. Last time, I spent time on the meat and noodles, and this time, there was no meat (I chopped up zucchini and onions and mixed it with the cheese). The food was the same, but definitely different.
The sauce was subtly different, as it was emphatically more garlicky than the particular tomato flavor of the canned sauce. The cheese was ricotta (mixed with mozzarella and Parmesan) instead of cottage, and there was much more of it. I used the no boil noodles. It was crispy on top, but I didn’t mind. And the middle was soft and seemed like lasagna, so my girlfriend didn’t mind.
I think a lot of the allure of lasagna is that it’s a homespun meal that nobody makes like mom. I thought my version of lasagna was pretty good, but it’s no match for the kind mom used to make.
