Tonight's #food, scratch cooked lasagne. And the first lesson is it's better to get over the feeling of "uurgh that Wusthof could take my fingers off" and just grab it. Especially for carrots. It makes the wee Kitchen Devil look like a toy.
Vegetables nicely softening, pancetta nicely cooking. With this and half a kilo each of pork and beef, this is going to be a very porky lasagne
The meat is in and OH DOG I NEEDED A SAUCEPAN ABOUT TWICE THIS SIZE AAAAUGH HOW BIG IS THIS LASAGNE GOING TO BE
DogDAMN. I was hoping to sneak away and do something else for an hour but I'm going to have to watch this like a hawk in case it spills over.
This serves EIGHT?! No wonder I feel like I'm cooking for the King's entire blasted Banquet...!
AURRRR. MY COOKER!!!
Also it's on the smallest burner on minimum heat and STILL BOILING OVER?!

@philpem

it may be time to freeze half of the batch for another time

@bitsavers I'm strongly considering that - specifically freezing half of the prepped sauces and making a second batch when I have more lasagne sheets.
