Lasagna is like the ultimate comfort food for me. Making it with my grandma every winter was definitely a staple in my childhood. Love that you guys are taking on the challenge 💛

I absolutely hate how many recipes are boasted up because they are easy, quick, simple, etc. It’s like 95% of the ones I come across. I have time in my day probably unlike most people and I love to cook so when I find recipes that take all day and a lot of love I’m so on board!!🥰

I struggled for months to get the perfect lasagna. But when I finally nailed it...man, my family was pushing me to make a batch every week! Felt good for someone with not-so-great cooking skills! :)

*I pray that everyone who is watching this masterpiece becomes really happy and successful in making good Lasagna!*

Absolutely love your take on a truly comforting dish. I learned to make lasagne by trial and error and find that I didn't even have to cook the noodles in order to make the dish. I would first use oven ready noodles. But then I learned to cut corners and just put them in like that. For my sauce I make a chili first and build on it to make my lasagne sauce. As a tip keep it semi-homemade by using canned beef broth, canned tomatoes if you can't find fresh ones that are sweet and ripe. Sneaking more vegetables into the finished dish is a way that I can feel ok having seconds.
Keep up the great work Tasty!!

I grew up always using the Béchamel method so really intrigued with the American style I.e ricotta, eggs, herbs. Love the idea of having the meat sauce the final layer. Will give both a try

We made this with fresh pasta, but also cut down the cook time in half, not mushy at all, best lasagna I've ever eaten and it looked almost identical to the one in the video. Thanks for the recipe.

I hate to be that guy but searing meat does not lock in moisture. The purpose of searing meats is simply to get that delicious roasty flavor from the aforementioned maillard reaction and also build some great fond on the bottom of the pot/pan

Really good recipe!! 👍🏼👍🏼 they hit all the elements 100%

[NaturesNutriCare]

We love how this recipe combines unique flavors to create something truly special. Can't wait to try it!

Basil and some other leaves are better if teared by hand, because the steel from the knife can make them oxidize, wich cause a bitter taste

Fantastic recipe!!! Thanks for sharing. That little meatball trick was especially wonderful - I'll never prepare a bolognese any other way.

Tip: don’t soak the noodles in olive oil. Oil and water don’t mix and will make the oil stick to your pasta, which will make it greasy and the sauce won’t stick to it as well.

I’ve never used anything BUT oven ready pasta. I don’t even pre-soak because it’s not worth the time. It always comes out perfectly
