lasagne-the food of gods

captainplanet

it may just be me, but i think lasagne is great. its almost a whole meal in itself. if you add some carbohydrates then you're set! and think of the calcium! all the calcium! no bone diseases for me

Your post has got me thinking... Belgian (er Maybe just Brussels) lasagne made with ham. Hmmm would love some right now - have discovered nowhere to get this in Ireland though

Um, think of the artery clogging FAT in lasagne from all the cheese! Not something you should eat too regularly

I never boil the pasta before baking but a friends.. little helper does and it tastes fab. Yeah, well she uses a ton of cream inside it but.

Do you guys boil'n'bake or chuck'n'bake?

'Twas 10 years ago but fairly sure if you look for lasagne in Italian restaurant in Brussels - you get the Brusseloise - bacon variety. So it's just called "Lasagne".

Whatever you find if they sell it over the internet - I wanna know!

Don't think they do!

Happy new year folks BTW!

I am a massive fan of lasinge, but im an even bigger fan of it when there is a pile of cheese on it.

They do lasinge at work in the canteen every week, only problem is they only do vegetarian, argh. lasinge isnt lasinge without meat in it ffs

Its the only form of pasta that I cannot abide...really hate the stuff

Oh lasagne, lasagne so delicious. Has to be homecooked with LOADS of fatty cheese and cream etc. though, none of that microwaved weightwatchers stuff

JohnK

Add my name to that list. It truly is the food of the Gods. I'm getting hungry now, dont suppose anyone has some?

One of my favourite foods also. My homemade specialty is lasagne as well and everyone who's aver eaten it agrees that it is yum!

One tip for the pasta itself - use fresh lasagne it tastes far superior and you don't need to cook it in water first as it's already soft.

There's nothing wrong with fat. Being fat, yes. Dietary fat, no.

I reckon lasagne is delicious, bit too much of a carb load for regular eatage though.

RasTa

Nicest food ever. Everyones Mummys homemade are allways the nicest, especally my veggie lasagne, nicer then the meat!

It's actually proper lasagne, with a slice of ham on top of it, you can get it from Suppers Ready, they even deliver.

one of the most important thing about cooking lasagne is having fresh pasta, i.e.: making the egg pasta by yourself.
The reason why the egg pasta needs to be boiled for one or two minutes in the water is to remove the egg flavour, which is too strong, you don't want to taste it in your lasagna.

If you're using any dried egg pasta you don't need to boil it, but many people prefer to do so because it will become softer.

What I usually do when I have dried pasta is that I fill the tray for lasagne with the pasta and the other things and then wrap the tray in alluminium foil and let it cook in the oven for 20 minutes, then I remove the foil and cook it for the remaining 10 minutes, so it will become crusty on the top.

Ah: eating lasagne with chips as side order is really lame, it is not even food, you will become the daily joke of many Italians. It's like drinking cappuccino at the end of your lunch/dinner.

Dave!

What do you usually have as a side? I would hate to be the joke of any Italians

Salad? Garlic bread?

antoniosicily

nothing, it's a main course (in italy we have first course which is pasta/lasagne, and a second course which is meat or fish, with the 'second course' you eat side orders).

not the way my mammy makes it!:D
we just use white sauce and a little bit of low low cheese-its still savage!

It's important to make lots of bolognaise. this is one of the sauces for tomorrows lasagne....

Tar.Aldarion

Lol I meant hate instead of had.

LASAGNE...u guys made me homesick

Anyway...as someone said...the "structure" of a meal in Italy is different...first u have antipasti (starters), like salami or ham, some good cheese, some marinated vegetables; the the first dish, like pasta or risotto or a soup or lasagne or ravioli, etc...u won't have side orders with lasagne (and lasagne has to be topped with tons of parmigiano, but that's another story), after lasagne here it comes the second dish, that could be meat, fish, eggs and it comes with side orders, tatoes or vegetables or both, then it comes the fruits, then the dessert, then the caffè and then a strong liquor to help u manage the whole lot of stuff

Dave!

Damn I'm starving now

I beg your pardon, Dave...
*tosses around virtual lasagna, with ragù and parmigiano ad libitum*
