Hi Bold Bakers! Get the written recipe and instructions for The Best Lasagna Recipe (100% From Scratch!): www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-lasagna-recipe/
I don't like ricotta cheese in lasagna. I use parmesan, fresh mozzarella, smoked provolone, asiago, and sharp mozzarella. And since I'm diabetic, I use zucchini thinly sliced lengthwise instead of lasagna noodles. And lots of mushrooms and sausage in the sauce. It started out as my grandma's recipe back in the 60s, but I tweaked it along the way. Sausage instead of hamburger, adding mushrooms, eliminating the brick and gouda, and swapping smoked provolone and sharp mozzarella for the regular kinds (SO much better flavor). It's got about a million calories, but almost NO carbs, and is great for keto.
Love how you give us options like using either store-bought or homemade. I don't use my hand-crank pasta roller machine nearly enough! What a perfect recipe for all parts of this dish!
I've been loving the edits for these videos lately, really add a fun element to the already cheerful Gemma! As always, the lasagna looks divine. Love seeing you cook more savory stuff 💕
I’m blown away. Literally. I have to do this. I’ve made enchiladas from scratch, including homemade corn tortillas. It’s a process, and takes up half a day, but worth it. I make the corn tortillas a little thicker too. Lasagna is one of my absolute favorites. I could literally eat the whole pan in one sitting if I didn’t have self control. I’ve made your homemade pasta recipe several times. I usually roll it out by hand, because I like the process. Sometimes, I add a bit of extra olive oil or tomato paste to the dough. It’s never failed. I struggle with cheese making still, but I’m getting better. I bet I could do the ricotta. The sauce will be cinch. I prefer mine mostly beef with a hint of sausage. I’m ranting! I’m so excited to make it all from scratch. Fabulous recipe!!!
I love this new and bold idea! What about a perogy from scratch with a few different fillings? Or, oh man, sausage rolls! Those are a nostalgia thing for me from my "poor college student" days. My dear friend and I would go to the grocery store early in the morning between classes and the smell from the bakery was almost hypnotic, and those sausage rolls fresh from the deli were such a treat! ❤
It’s only 8:00 am and I’m drooling over your lasagna. I love watching you bake sweet things but this was very enjoyable to watch. I need to get the pasta attachment for my Kitchen Aid.
Hi Gemma, thank you so much for this recipe. As a child we used to always have to par boil the lasagna noodles. I agree this is a much better option. Ricotta looks great and am going to make some cannelloni with ricotta and Silverbeet and a that lovely sauce. Have a great weekend. ❤️🙏
I made this! Which was insane. You made it very approachable and easy to follow. Making my own cheese was pretty cool! I used a hand crank pasta maker. “The Beast” (we named it) is currently in the freezer waiting for board game night this Thursday. I’ll be sure to take it out Wednesday afternoon and get it in the fridge.
Holy moly you hit this right out of the park!! GEMMA this is amazing. I am going to try making all this homemade. There is something truly satisfying to this dish especially the way you made it!!❤ now this is love!
A large carrot gives the sauce sweetness and balances out the acidity. My grandmother would have hit you with her wooden spoon if she seen you adding sugar ha-ha. Also mix a few eggs with your ricotta, it spreads easier. Great video and channel, thank you.
Making lasagna from scratch!! Thank you lovely Gemma for showing how to make the ricotta!! I personally make lasagna with mozzarella and other yellow cheese that I find here in Greece. Definately the next time I ll be making the ricotta chesse, dont know though if I will attempt making the pasta since I can find pasta at the store. Thank you for the great presentation, hoping one day to attempt making the pasta. Love to you❤️🇬🇷
Cant wait to make this and your ricotta cheese soon for me can i use mushrooms i never had best lasagna before BtW I bookmarked this and your ricotta cheese recipes on my computer perfect for my after office meals
I've used mushrooms and bell peppers to sneak in more vegetables for my picky brother, and it works great! I'd recommend chopping them slightly bigger than the size of the minced beef, though, because fresh mushrooms shrivel up and release liquid after you season them with salt. Vegan replacements like soy protein or fake meat might also work...
Hey Gemma. I have been a fan for almost 6 years now , and really love your baking. Can we see s'mores from scratch ( i mean Graham crackers , marshmallows and CHOCOLATE)
Hi Gemma!! I LOVE this new series!! I have learned so much from you over the years.. I make my own ricotta, cream cheese, and sour cream all the time thanks to you! Love everything that you do, thank you!!
Hi Gemma! Do you think putting carrots and celery in the Bolognese sauce gives more or less the same effect as the sugar? I'd love to try this recipe one day
Just looked up a recipe for gluten free pasta recipe and dairy free ricotta so I could make this from scratch despite being gluten and dairy free :) Yours looks so scrummy!
I love that you’re giggling while you take a bite! ❤ great satisfaction!! This is great timing!! I make it for my husband every year! My uncle taught me how to make his meatball lasagna before he died. That’s right….meatballs!! It’s crazy! But it works!! my family raves over it. The homemade ricotta and noodles are going to be over the top this year!! I love the tip on the ground beef and why it gets watery!! Really good to know!!
Gemma, it's great but .... where is bechamel? 😭 How about making a vegetarian lasagne with bechamel? Spinach and ricotta perhaps? Greetings to you and your family, enjoy your weekend!
looks delicious I love homemade pasta 💖first time I made it was back in Jr high school in my cooking class 👩🍳 we made lasagna for the facility and then I made spaghetti in high school in the culinary class I took (my high school had a votec connected to it) still love cooking 💕 I just got a pasta machine to go on my mixer so I'll only be making homemade pasta from now on 👍
Hai Gemma, How are you? Good to see you again... And also I loved this recipe... 🥰.. When I saw this recipe, I think it is a spicy one.. 😋.. Waiting for another recipe🥳....
I've never see you make any pasta dish from scratch,Glad that you can make Lasagna Bolognese in your baking channel !!!!!!!!!!!! Will you show us how to make gluten-free Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo please ?
You can make the ricotta cheese up to 3-4 days in advance, the sauce up to 3 days in advance, and the pasta up to 3 days in advance. You can also make lasagna up to 1 day before you bake it. Lasagna is a great freezer meal to have on hand. I recommend freezing the lasagna after assembling it but before baking it. You can freeze already-baked lasagna, but the texture will be different. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/best-lasagna-recipe/ Hope this helps!
I add more Italian spices to mine including rosemary. Rosemary is what sets it apart from other Italian pasta sauces and gives it a wonderfully distinctive flavor. Otherwise it just tastes like any other pasta dish. I also use pork and beef, actually pork sausage.
I know that was the best lasagna ever with everything being made completely from scratch. I definitely want to try this, once I get a pasta roller 🤤🤤🤤🤤

If you don't like the acidity in the tomatoes use San Marzano tomatoes in the can. They're delicious!

I haven’t tried a vegan or vegetarian version yet, but I think it is technically possible, Ramya.
I've used mushrooms and bell peppers to sneak in more vegetables for my picky brother, and it works great! I'd recommend chopping them slightly bigger than the size of the minced beef, though, because fresh mushrooms shrivel up and release liquid after you season them with salt.

Hi Gemma! Do you think putting carrots and celery in the Bolognese sauce gives more or less the same effect as the sugar? I'd love to try this recipe one day
I've put grated carrots in my sauce sometimes, it does add a nice sweetness.
I think it would add a hint of sweetness. Haven’t tried it yet so I can’t really say how it will turn out.
Looking at this video is making me craves for lasagna now. 💙
Brilliant! Thank you!
What a great lasagna! Thank you, Gemma. It's good to learn something new. : )

Savory is really not my field. I probably will consider those in future bakes, but no promises as of now. 😊
This looks so good! What kind of oven do you have? Also, what is that stainless steel thing on your oven and where can I buy that? Thank you so much!
Do you have a traditional coddle recipe?
I don’t have one posted at the moment, Cory. I don’t usually feature savory dishes except when they are baked. I do mostly desserts and breads. 😊
@@biggerbolderbaking ok. No worries. I appreciate you getting back to me :)

Love this recipe when are you going to make birthday cake Oreo cookies?
not you trying to ruin my diet🤣🤣
Actually a lower carb meal. Eat with a nice green salad & it would be balanced
soo yummy! how do you freeze it? before or after cooking?
You can make the ricotta cheese up to 3-4 days in advance, the sauce up to 3 days in advance, and the pasta up to 3 days in advance. You can also make lasagna up to 1 day before you bake it.
Lasagna is a great freezer meal to have on hand. I recommend freezing the lasagna after assembling it but before baking it. You can freeze already-baked lasagna, but the texture will be different.

I add more Italian spices to mine including rosemary. Rosemary is what sets it apart from other Italian pasta sauces and gives it a wonderfully distinctive flavor. Otherwise it just tastes like any other pasta dish. I also use pork and beef, actually pork sausage.
