It is definitely worth learning to make your own pasta. The last two times I made lasagna with homemade pasta the flavor was noticeably better. And most important, I could size the pasta to fit my dishes so I didn't have to deal with standard-size strips that I had to cut to fit and get random pieces that fell apart when serving.
@Electrichead64 4 ай бұрын
I need to start doing that. I have had fresh pasta exactly once in my life and I noticed that it isn't just a better product .. its an entirely new thing in of itself.

A basic list of ingredients, oven temp and time would be great. I watch the video so know the process ...

In Anthony Bourdain's book 'Appetites' he recommends cooking the lasagne in the oven the day before you intend on serving, to then reheat it through on the day - how I'll always do my lasagnes now

@lindastevenson9538 5 ай бұрын
I can easily agree with making the gravy a day ahead before making the lasagna, but the entire lasagna itself. I would be concerned that the different textures would reheat unevenly I am of Italian descent ... my ancestors settled in NYC, PA, and NJ. We grew up saying "gravy" for the tomato and meat mixture (Sunday gravy). For the brown gravy that went over meat, we called that brown gravy. Anything that didn't have meat, for example, marinara...that would be called a sauce. Just offered as an informational tidbit!.

I definitely prefer lasagna with bechamel (although I never enjoy making bechamel), and based on my experiences I prefer to pre-cook the pasta (maybe it's produced thicker in my country, I don't know), but nevertheless - it's always enjoyable and educating to watch Chef Frank :) I love all the little details - like "listen to my pot" :D

@etabeta9663 4 ай бұрын
As Frank says, there are different ways to make lasagne. And this the way it’s made in the US. The insane amount of meat (pork only??) and cheese is why it has the consistency and weight of freshly poured concrete and takes about the same time to digest. It surely looks great but after a plate you wanna go take a nap. If you’re a fan of Chicago pizza, go for it. But if you’re trying to recreate that delicious plate of lasagne you had in Italy, forget about this video.
