Classic Lasagna

Today I made the classic lasagna.

I used the carb wise dreamland noodles.. there are always more noodles than sauce. I made the classic red gravy, and mixed up a batch of cheese. I had a large container of ricotta, and I had some mozzarella cheese left over from the pizza I made on Friday. I also had a chuck of piccorino romano dry cheese that Costco is selling under its own name. It got mixed with the Grad Prada cheese that was left over. A couple of eggs and some basil and away we go.

The cuisanart makes great greated hard cheese. Using its chopping knife, you can whirl it around until it is exactly the right texture. It will complain bitterly at first.. but later you get that wonderful swhoosh.

Its been a long time since I had made this from scratch. It is sooo good. I can see how it is the king of the casseroles. I ended up with three very large containers of left over.. wish you were all over to help me eat it.

I am enjoying the new kitchen and the room that it affords me to do an assembly thing like that. In the old kitchen this assembly had to be done of the dining room table. I miss the girls, they are such foodies. I wonder sometimes whether that is a gift or a curse.

Mom wanted me to served it to the TV room so that she would not miss her home improvement show. She wanted me to serve it in a bowl. I refused. She was so hungry that she came later to the table. She was not happy about it though.

I hope you a lasagna like Sunday.. and many happy reheats..
