i have this passion that i'm not too great at, but i really want to be. a master chef is in my future, i can see it now, it might be far off, but you've got to start somewhere right?
i really enjoy finding new recipes and trying them out so i have decided to share these findings on my blog with my discoveries of what to do and maybe what not to do.
tonight this very delicious recipe stood out to me on "two peas & their pod" and i thought i'd give it a go.
zach and i both love lasagna(seriously he orders it at every italian restaurant without fail)
and this recipe didn't disappoint.
it was very delicious and not to difficult to make!
i liked the rolling part, it was fun to do and unlike traditional lasagna, it kept its shape beautifully after being cooked, making it fun to eat too!
i think i may adopt this method for any type of lasagna.
it'd be simple enough to add meat to this recipe and subtract the spinach and artichokes.. or keep them, whatever you please.
i often make lots of silly mistakes when cooking so i figure i would fill you in on what not to do so that your process may be just a little bit smoother than mine was!
1. maybe don't use the non boil lasagna noodle for this recipe it gets a little soggy. i had a couple of both and the boiling method worked a little better.
2. when buying ricotta cheese avoid the biggest size they offer, unless you plan on making lasagna every day of the week. which i may have to do.
3.allow enough time for the spinach to thaw, the microwave does weird things to leaves.
4. be patient after you take it out of the oven it needs time to settle. slippery and scorching hot neat rolls, quickly turn into a mountain.
hope these tips help! happy cooking. find the recipe here.
enjoy!
