I have made this
So, into the oven covered for an hour but the video doesn't say how long uncovered.
Looks delicious…would like a layer of pepperoni and ricotta.
its 2022 and I just saw this episode. I will be making this version for Thankssgiving this year. i love the panade!
What a great cook, ATK’s Christie! Looks so yummy!
YES! COTTAGE CHEESE RULES IN AMERICAN LASAGNA! I don't care what the purist say.
Hi alligator!

I didn’t have all the ingredients for the cheesy part so I made mine with the basic meat sauce, lasagna noodles and mozzarella. For the top I made a Bechamel sauce and covered with mozz and parmesan. Turned out great!! Thanks for the recipe ❤
used to love ATK and CC they were great PBS content!!! Now our TAXES lead to a full charge website for recipes. Are you kidding me???? JOKE!!! SCREW PBS AND THEIR AGENDA
Meat meat meat meat ground who knows where it came from meat
I love you guys, great recipes, I use nearly all regularly.
Looking forward to making AGAIN!! :o)
There would be more flavor if you added Oregano and Basil
This recipe is AMAZING!!
Made this for supper tonight I can’t wait to try it! ❤️
I live in USA and made Lasagna several times to a almost perfect dish. But I am visiting my family in India and I cannot find the ingredients that I need to make this dish. I feel so bad because I want my family to taste this lasagna dish so bad.

Please stop this is not right. NO BUENO on this recipe
Never seen a meat sauce use a binder for meatballs weird
Is the mozzarella low moisture, whole fat, or what?
No Italian seasonings? No basil?
As an Italian, I use that similar kind of pasta, but I never put it in the boiling water, just in a pan (?) with the sauce and besciamella.
If you boil the pasta for the lasagne you need to cook it and take it out of the water one by one and, one by one keep them separated otherwise they stick together.
For the meat sauce:
Deep fry some onion, one or two carrots, celery. Add the meat. When it becomes brown add some white wine and let evaporate it. Then, add the tomatoes and a bit of hot water. For a good Bolognese's Sauce let simmer for at least two hours.
For the Besciamella:
50gr of butter, 50gr of flour, 1litre of milk, a pinch of salt and pepper and nutmeg, pecorino romano or grana padano or other cheese if you like…
Melt the butter, add the flour slowly whisking it, add the milk slowly still whisking until it becomes smooth.
Add salt, pepper and nutmeg and cheese.

I really appreciate the, "I'm going to wash my hands," comment. Every other cooking Youtuber makes me cringe every time they work with raw meat and then immediately grab a bowl. I understand editing is a thing, and its likly they are washing their hands off camera. But are they?
I need just one week to hang out with y’all. What things I could learn in that time. I feel like I’m with family when I watch your videos.
This is NOT Italian lasagna !!! This is , “ HEARTY ! “ more like a HEART ATTACK waiting to happen !!!
Too much SODIUM !! In ITALIA, lasagna does not have all these ingredients. It is very very light , and only 3 layers with fresh home made pasta, and ingredients.
I like your idea of using cottage cheese, garlic, and grated Romano instead of Riccota.
I'm going to make this tomorrow for my Mom.
Only exception; I'll use half Italian sausage, and half good ground beef. Will also add some Italian parsley.
I might also use ricotta.
All these good ingredients, it's gotta be good… (!)
Three of my favorite words put together.
I follow this recipe to the “T” and I always have leftover meat sauce with 4 layers, so I add 1 more layer, then I’m able to have a top layer for the rest of the cheese sauce.
#Not going back to other lasagna recipes.
Absolutely amazing but a bit difficult to manage if you have physical limitations. I spread the recipe steps on two days but next time, I’ll do it on three days as I was exhausted when it was time to bake it. I did make a couple of changes, replacing the heavy cream by a lighter cooking cream (15%) and picking the fattest cottage cheese (5%) available in our Supermarket in an effort to compensate for the heavy cream. The result was so fantastic I’m sure to make it again.
It makes a lot though. There are only two of us and my gentleman-friend is afraid to eat the same thing for the next five days. Can portions be frozen once cooked? Or else would it work if I split the recipe in two?
Yummy 😋
Hmm I disagree with this recipe
what season is this?
🤢 this is not good lasagne….not that Americans would care
This is my go-to lasagna recipe. I've done the full-blown lasagna. This is better all-around.
