  1. Whenever I'm looking for a recipe or just ideas I come to Chef John's page. Has the best recipes and the best presentation and instructions. Speaks clearly and concisely, with just the right amount of humor…👍🏻👍🏻

  2. Love Chef John, but two huge mistakes here! The sauce IS really important, and should be homemade! But the killer is the cheese mixture! You don’t add the egg until you have the taste you want! The egg is the last ingredient, not the first! As a sidebar, who would add sausage to a lasagna! Holy God!

  3. I usually make a labor intensive Lasagna Bolognese. I saw your recipe for this sausage and beef lasagna and thought I would give it a try. I have made several of your recipes through the years so I knew it had to be pretty good.

    It is fantastic! A lot less labor intensive than a classic Bolognese with bechamel sauce but it did not lack for flavor or texture. My wife said it is 'delicious'.

    Thanks, Chef John!

  4. I can't call this "beef" lasagna unless it's 100% pure beef. For beef purists and for those who don't eat pork, replace whatever portion allotted on the Italian sausage to more ground beef.

    I'd say this is a "meat" lasagna because saying beef assumes that the lasagna is pure beef, and it's going to upset people who don't eat pork.

  5. The Italian sausage made it way to spicy. It was also too hard to make all the layers thin enough to keep the height low enough in the tray, and when I did get it thin, I couldn't get uniform layer coverage: some layer areas ended up bare. Not a happy experience

  6. I made this and it was spectacular. The only change I’d make going forward is to skip the mushrooms, or at least reduce them significantly , because I didn’t really care for the flavor. Instead I’ll add a dab of anchovy paste to lend umami to the sauce.

  7. Chef John, you know I love you, right? I've watched almost all of your videos. This lasagna was perfect and we didn't even have mushrooms or fresh parsley. That will be rectified the next time we make it. My and sister and I were just "mmm"-ing and "wow"-ing the whole time. Came out perfectly. But I didn't expect any less. Next up, Chef Johns Juicy Lucy Burger….again!

  8. Why does that wooden spoon have a HOLE in it? I never figured that out! Supposedly that is to measure one serving of pasta. Is this true Chef John? Woodworker says it is to keep the wood from splitting. I'm confused!

    Oh everyone needs to watch Chef John's recipe on how to make homemade ricotta! Super easy!

    My one hack to make regular lasagna noodles is to put them in a sheet pan, pour over boiling water and cover with foil. Wait 10 minutes. Super easy. I also really like the new no-boil lasagna noodles just make sure they are drenched with sauce and Enjoy!

    My mother made lasagna with cottage cheese in place of ricotta so now I make 1/2 ricotta and 1/2 cottage cheese with 1/2 80/20 ground hamburger and 1/2 italian sausage in memory of her. Yummy!

    I'm sorry I love the dry whole milk mozzarella, grated. I will make this with both the old style dry whole milk mozzeralla and the wet mozzeralla and post on my Insta! Faiths_RV_Trip @ Instagram!

    I have a glass Pyrex baking dish that is 8 X 8 inches. I get four huge pieces of lasagna! I eat one fresh and freeze the other three portions for a quick and easy dinner that I can throw in the oven for 45 minutes and serve with bread / salad / veggie. Super easy way to eat while traveling!
