Recipe of Perfect Mama's Lasagna

Hello everybody, it is John, welcome to my recipe page. Today, we're going to prepare a distinctive dish, Recipe of Homemade Mama's Lasagna. One of my favorites food recipes. This time, I will make it a little bit tasty. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

In regards to cooking, it is important to keep in mind that everybody started somewhere. I don't know of a single person who came to be with a wooden cooking spoon and ready to go. There is a lot of learning which must be done in order to develop into a prolific cook and then there is obviously room for improvement. Not only can you will need to begin with the basics when it comes to cooking however, you almost must begin again when learning to cook a new cuisine such as Chinese, Thai, or Indian food.

Healthy cooking is often difficult because most people don't need to spend some time preparing and planning meals our own families won't eat. At precisely the same time, we need our families to be healthy so that we are feeling compelled to learn improved and new ways of cooking healthy foods for our family to love (and regrettably in certain circumstances scorn).

There are many who will argue that cooking healthy food costs more than simply cooking the more healthy food items that pack in the calories and additives. The accuracy of the matter is that when you compare the expenses with the medical bills for the near future for a failure to accomplish this, they seem rather slight by comparison. Yes, good food costs additional money. In many cases, that is a simple fact of everyday life. But by learning portion control and eating the proper portions you just may discover that you are actually spending less you adapt to the proper amounts of food that you should be consuming to be able to maintain a strong and active lifestyle.

Many things affect the quality of taste from Mama's Lasagna, starting from the type of ingredients, then the selection of fresh ingredients, the ability to cut dishes to how to make and serve them. Don't worry if you want to prepare Mama's Lasagna delicious at home, because if you already know the trick then this dish can be used as an extraordinary special treat.

To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can have Mama's Lasagna using 22 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

My mom is from the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains in the Veneto region of Italy (North East). She grew up poor on a very small... I'll call it a farm, but that would be an overstatement from what we Americans call a farm. That being said, her family used EVERY bit of edible resource that could be obtained. It's a very different perspective than what most of us here in the U.S. would consider "Italian cuisine". The dishes tend to use more meat, and typically not the lean variety (remember, LIMITED resources... no Whole Foods in which to shop, that's for sure). So, my mother, having had the fortune of meeting my father and coming to a country where she no longer had to hope to eat, altered at least SOME of the ingredients for the recipes she learned from her grandmother. Please keep in mind that this is not "traditional" lasagna, and probably isn't for everyone... but we love it, and i hope you will, too. Buon appetito!

Steps to make to make Mama's Lasagna

1. Meat sauce: -put ROSEMARY and SAGE in herb net -Put some oil and butter in pot and saute ONION and GARLIC -add SAUSAGE and BEEF; brown -blend TOMATOES; add to pot -add 1tsp BLACK PEPPER, 1tbls CINNAMON, 1tsp SUGAR, 1/2 BOUILLON to pot -add ROSEMARY and SAGE in net to the pot -simmer until most of the water cooks off -add 3 slices VELVEETA -remove from heat and set aside
2. Butter sauce: -in another pot, melt 3tbls BUTTER -add quart of MILK, bring to simmer -add 3/4tbls NUTMEG -add 1/2tsp SALT -add 1/2tsp PEPPER -slowly add FLOUR to thicken (be careful!)
3. Noodles: -boil water, oil, and salt -get 2 large bowls; one w/ ice water, other w/water and a little oil -boil the noodles just maybe 2 at a time. Careful not to let them break or stick to each other -remove noodle, place in ice to cool(and rinse), then in oil/water mix. -place noodle on dry towel and pat dry as you go. *NOT A GOOD IDEA to do all noodles at the same time. They will dry up while your trying to make your layers. Make them as you go.
4. Layer and bake: -in a large dish, spoon out MEAT SAUCE and BUTTER SAUCE on the bottom and coat the bottom of dish -add layer of cooked noodles ask the way to edges -add another coat of SAUCES -add just one type of CHEESE. -repeat steps while alternating CHEESE types between layers. Make sure you have enough SAUCES and CHEESE to go on top! *this should be enough ingredients to make 4 layers of noodles, which includes the bottom one. -cover with foil and bake at 350° for about 40 minutes. You can uncover for the last 5-10 minutes if you like the "crunch", but I don't. -take out, uncover, and let sit for 5-8 minutes to allow for easier cutting/serving and a better presentation. --->this is a cheesy, gooey, fattening, greasy, delicious, and special meal. You can adjust by browning and draining meat, using butter substitute, and low fat cheeses.

Additionally you will find as your own experience and confidence develops that you will see your self increasingly more frequently improvising as you move and adjusting meals to meet your personal preferences. If you'd like less or more of ingredients or wish to make a recipe a little more or less spicy in flavor you can make simple adjustments on the way so as to attain this goal. Quite simply you will begin punctually to create snacks of one's very own. And that's something you will not necessarily learn when it comes to basic cooking skills to novices however you'd never know if you didn't master those simple cooking abilities.
