Phil M0OFXTonight'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...!
miunau@philpem lol the kilo of meat didn't tip you off?
damn i gotta try that pancetta in it too
@miunau I thought it was just a really meaty lasagne!
@philpem you dont have to bake all of it at once, the meat sauce freezes really well
@miunau I hope the Bechamel does too...
@philpem yup it does!
@miunau as it happens I had just enough pasta and sauce to make two lasagne! One was a bit slimmer than the other.
@philpem slimmer is breakfast lasagna!
