The Stay At Home Chef you have absolutely amazing recipes! thank you so much for sharing! Most of them are so decadent my husband and our kids need to take a walk afterwards lol good problems!
The Stay At Home Chef the recipe says 2 cans of tomato paste but in your video you use one.can u clarify if its one or two.this looks so delicious will be making this.thanks in advance.
I just tried your recipe. Replacing a few ingredients not available in our local grocery store. But it turned out great nevertheless. Thankyou, :-) happy holidays
I always read comments/reviews on recipes and I’m always skeptical for some reason. Especially for a good, authentic sauce/lasagna. I never write reviews either. This recipe was hands down the BESTTT lasagna and sauce recipe ever. I simmered the sauce for 4 hours and added rosemary, bay leaves, and some red pepper flakes. Absolutely incredible flavor. My roommate said it was better than his grandmothers who’s been making it for years. 100% recommend.
God bless you for this recipe. My fam said it was the best they’ve EVER had. For anyone who doesn’t have all of the ingredients, don’t fret! I personally used Sazon seasoning instead of oregano, used one pack of ground beef (1.3 lbs) but no sausage, did not use fennel seeds, nutmeg, or sugar, & used regular parsley & basil rather than fresh ones, yet it still came out AMAZING!
I've been making lasagna 40 plus years. My daughter made yours (she never was into cooking) on the fly and my mouth dropped open. I just printed out your recipe and your spaghetti sauce recipe. A lot easier than what I go thru.
Been making lasagne for quite some time now but adding ricotta cheese has been my new addition. I used to boil by lasagna sheets but when she said I could just soak em while I make my sauce I was mind blown! And it worked! It worked so well that I’m never gonna boil my lasagna sheets ever! The lasagna is in the oven at the moment, it smells divine. Can’t wait to dig in and also adding fennel seeds to the mince seems like a good idea. It made the mince smell and taste so good 👌🏼
@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 Fennel seed is a must for lasagna. Adding some to spaghetti sauce is also great. There's one (that I know of) canned/jarred sauce that has fennel in it, too, which is Newman's Own Marinara. It's great. I prefer Mutti (and I just add some fennel), but Newman's Own is a very close second.
Seriously guys, this is hands down the best lasagna I’ve ever had in my whole life and that’s no exaggeration! I made this today for Father’s Day for my family and my dad and husband got so full and couldn’t move because they couldn’t stop eating it! It’s so true that the key is to let the sauce simmer, I cooked the sauce on the stove first for a hour and then after I simmered it in the crock pot for 2 hours on low and 2 hours on high! I didn’t add fennel seed but it was still so delicious!!!!!! Im still in shock how great it tasted you guys! Please please please try this recipe you won’t be disappointed!
I think I would have sautéed the onions too and sweated then put with some salt and pepper, then putting in the garlic, then cooking the meat. That way you have beautifully Caramelized onions in your meat sauce that melt just into the sauce.
OR ... just use an excellent jar of marinara with all the herbs, spices and veggies already in it and just mix it with the meat. :D Way faster. Just as good.
@@FemmeFatalee haven't looked into what sauteeing onions is or is like but do you think i could caramelize the garlic and onion then blend it into the sauce? I think the flavor in sauces is really helpful but im just not a fan of the texture of onions
@@mrfriessf214902 yes! Mix it in with the meat after you saute both the onions and garlic its tastier ..hardly any onion taste and it makes it really tasty
I have been making this lasagna for 4yrs and today my 9yr daughter made it for the first time on her own. She’s an aspiring chef and this made her feel proud of herself. Thanks for the delicious recipe.
Dina Kemp I follow the recipe but for the cooking time I use a thermometer to check the center. I remove it from the oven when it reaches 165 degrees. Then I let it rest for 20min before cutting.
Someone made this at a get-together and I asked him to send me the recipe and I make this all the time now. Everyone says it’s the best lasagna they’ve ever had!! One thing I omit from your recipe is the fennel seeds and I always add about 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper.
My friend is allergic to onions and this turned out fantastic omitting them. You can't get fresh parsley often where I live so I substituted dry (1 tsp dry for 1 tablespoon fresh) then added fresh spinanch for the fresh flavor) I simmered the sauce in a crockpot and it turned out exceptional. Thank you so much.
That cottage cheese mix used instead of the classic white sauce is a game changer. I trusted your recipe and it changed my taste for lasagna forever! I used lamb mince instead of the Italian sausage. I also sautéed the onion and the garlic then added the mince beef and lamb in. I used instant lasagna sheets which do not require pre-cooking. Other than these, I followed the recipe exactly as explained and the lasagna turned out beautifully. It is so light and easy to eat. The sugar you add bring out all the flavours. Just beautiful.
I've now made this, following your recipe, about four times and it has been a hit every single time. Despite the hearty nature and large portion, there has never been a time when I've had leftovers. Terrific video and your step by step instructions are perfect. Thank you for this great recipe.
I made this recipe but I made way to much sauce , I made three lasagnas one I froze the lasagna after I made it , one month later I needed to be served , well let me tell you it was so tasty very fresh. The meat sauce I had a lot left over again I froze in containers . I have used that sauce it taste so yummy . Thank Stay at Home Chef for this amazing and delicious recipe.
Made it today. It's NOT one of the best. IT IS THE BEST TO DATE. Exactly, well almost. Forgot the sliced mozzarella but did replace it with shredded. Still came out great. Thank you. Already copied the recipe for when travelling, in csde I get the urge.
First time watching her cooking and I must say she is very organize. I like how she has every little detail in writing and left no puzzle even for person like me,who doesn’t know how to cook.
Let me tell you this is the most delicious lasagna recipe ever!! i made it over 4 5 years ago and i still remember how amazing it tasted. i am planning to make it again for my future husband and the family. Thanks Rachel
Update: I made this and the family LOVED it. My only change is with the draining of the meat. She doesn't tell you to drain the meat before adding the tomato-based ingredients etc. I recommend you do or you'll end up with any overly fluidlike sauce. I had added all the ingredients and had to end up using a collander to drain it. I had a bowl of loose sauce left, which i scooped two spoonfuls back into the meatier concoction, which matched the consistency of what she put at the bottom of the lasagna dish. THEN it was perfect. I think someone said on here the chicken broth was unnecessary and it probably was. I am not sure what the chicken broth actually does for this sauce.
The chicken broth allows the right amount of liquid expansion for the sauce to simmer for a few hours without burning, as old Italian tradition intended
This sounds awesome with fennel seeds! Mind blown with the soaking noodles tip😳!! I’ve got a little trick for the tomato paste, use a can opener on BOTH ends of the can, remove one cut lid & and push the paste out using the other lid! So much easier! Can’t wait to try this!! Thank you!
Terrific recipe. It was absolutely delicious. I substituted the sweet sausage for mild. It was my first time making a lasagna with non store bought pasta sauce. The sauce was delicious and the family loved it. I also love how the video shows step by step instructions and how you are very straight to the point with your directions in this recipe. I look forward to cooking many more of your dishes !!
@@anikaghoshbasu9191 Oh im not sure abt the original comment but in my school you have a few open periods and you can pick classes you want to join and cooking is one of them, so it would be part of our curriculum.
I made this lasagna recipe for my Christmas dinner and I RECOMMEND THIS RECIPE, its delicious and very yummy and im just a 13 year old kid who made this all by myself
This is the best lasagna recipe I have found and my whole family loves it. I double the meat sauce recipe and freeze it for use later and it still comes out great!
Made this recipe! I sub the herbs with Italian dry herb pack. Skipped the chicken stock. Halved the recipe, but kept same amount of garlic and tomato sauce. Also didn’t use any nutmeg. Added oregano into my ricotta mixture because I love oregano! This a great base recipe which is super adaptable. subscribed !!!
I’ve been making this recipe (sans sausage) for over 1 year and my family loves it so much! I give The Stay at home chef credit every time someone asks me about it.
Love Rachel's no nonsense presentation and that she includes a written recipe WITH timestamps. Professional approach. Oh and this is a real good recipe, I'll agree a "Most Amazing Lasagna"! New Sub!
Who is making lasagna today? I'm glad everyone is busy getting toilet paper, hand sanitizer, etc. That way I can find the ingredients for my lasagna, lol 😆 😄
Me too!!! With all this 👉🏼🎶 Coronavirus!Coronavirus! This shits getting real 🎶 As Cardi B would say... I decided to skip restaurants to which I can’t go now anyways, and made it 😃
@@Nebulousss It does take time but it is worth it! I can't be bothered to boil the noodles. Start early on your day off and it will be gone the next day.
I cooked this lasagna tonight, i basically followed the receipt the best i could... the fennel seed & ground oregano really made this dish ** POP ! .... easily one of the best lasagna's ive ever eaten ..... thanks so much for sharing this receipt "Stay at Home Chef". cheers 🙂
2019: just made it for my family and it is the best lasagna ever!!! Not too salty, not too sweet but just wonderful! Full of flavor and chewy, gooey deliciousness! Thank you!!!!!
I just made this today. The only thing I changed was to substitute five bay leaves for the chopped basil (I just didn't have basil) in making the sauce, which I (of course) removed before adding to the layers. Delicious. Perfectly seasoned. It's definitely going to be in my cooking rotation now.
It's TRUE folks. She is not lying. This lasagna is the best. I used a slow cooker for the sauce. I'm in tears just tasting this awesome lasagna. Thank you👍
20 years ago I made my first lasagna. It was simple but time consuming. I've always made it the same and it's well loved but I think I'm going to make 2 changes. The noodle idea is genius and so are the cheese SLICES! Thanks!
Hey guys just a couple tips! Use oven ready lasagna noodles so you won’t have to do anything to the noodles. Also make this the day before so the flavors really can melt together. Trust me your lasagna will be a lot better.
Okay, I just tried this for the first time last night! It took a very long time and it isn't really a cheap thing to make but it came out so so good!! I very much recommend this!! A few things I would change though is adding more meat sauce so the cheese isn't so over powering. Making mozzarella and parmesan cheese the last layer so it looks all cool and yellow and cheesy on top. (i repeated the pattern and it ended with meat sauce as top coat still yummy but didn't look as cool lol) ...and lastly (i could be wrong) but I heard hot tap water has a lot of bad things in it so I just put cold water in a pot and boiled the water and poured it over the noodles.......just be careful maybe don't pile them evenly on top of each other spread as much as you can and maybe a few time flip them or move them around because mine ended up sticking together and then ripping apart when I tried to separate them. BUT VERY YUMMY!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! :)
I love this recipe. This was my first time ever making lasagna. I went almost to the T on this recipe because I’ve never cooked lasagna before and I never really liked lasagne but I cooked this for my father in law’s 87th birthday dinner and since she said it was the most amazing lasagna, I took her word for it. Everyone loved this recipe. The only thing I did differently was I used 3 lbs 80/20 ground beef because I already had it in the fridge and I needed to cook it. I also added more nutmeg. I just didn’t feel like 1/8 tsp was enough. If I add an ingredient, I want to taste that ingredient. It was not disappointing. I also added the fennel to the ricotta cheese. It was really good. I highly recommend this recipe.
I’ve never made a lasagna before. I wanted to make a lasagna for Christmas and found this recipe. I don’t like fennel; so I skipped it. Love the idea of soaking the noodles; it worked so well. I enjoyed making the lasagna along this video. Thank you! It tasted amazing too!! 👩🍳
Glad to hear that it turned out well and tasted amazing! I'm planning to make this for an upcoming potluck. It'll be my first time making lasagna, so I wanted to see how it was for other first-timers as well! I was a little bit weary about soaking the noodles, but hopefully it'll be okay! Wish me luck :)
This is my first time making lasagna. I’m a avid cook, been cooking for 25 years but never made lasagna. Anyway, I don’t like fennel seed either, do you think it lacked any flavor without it?
Thank you! I am a pretty good long time amature chef. I have used many recipes for many dishes. I tried yours for this Lasagna and had to come back here and say this is the best tasting lasagna I have ever made or had. I say this because not one flavor stands out. It is the perfect combination of each and certainly the fennel seed ads to it even though I can not taste it (that is the way it is supposed to be) Thank you from me and the Family. EXCELLENT!
Hello. I never thought to put fennel seeds in a sauce but it's a great idea. Fennel seeds are one of the key ingredients to make fresh and dried Italian sausages (also known as soppresata).
I used to use ricotta for my lasagna until about 20 years ago... That's when I decided to start using cottage cheese. Last night, I tried something new that you will love. Try a pint of cottage cheese, a stick of cream cheese and a cup of spinach alll combined together... Yummy outcome...
I made this recipe several weeks ago and my family loved it!! Makes many servings and leftovers freeze beautifully! I love your videos!! You are such a good cook!!
Recently I started reviewing lasagna recipes looking for one that could be my "go to" recipe. I saw this one and reviewed the video and I did not even look at any more recipes. I agree and am comfortable with each step and ingredient so I will try it very soon. I really liked the "noodle hack". This will really help with the dreaded boiling the noodles step, plus I don't care for the new no-boil noodles. Thank you for a good video and recipe.
I wonder why people don't put mozzarella on the top. Isn't taking a golden brown bubbly lasagna out of the oven part of the appeal of lasagna? I put cubes of mozzarella in the ricotta and that's it for the mozzarella in the middle. I save the rest for the top.
I have made this receipe heaps and heaps of time. My all time favorite it's exactly as she described it..So flavorful and delicious. Thank you very much for this amazing, divine receipe.
@@Thestayathomechef Hello. I printed this and excited to make. The print says 1/2 cup white wine. You used chicken broth. Which is best please. Love this video!!!
You are the best i cooked exactly how you said and you didn’t disappoint i felt like a real chef cooking for a quality restaurant meal I’m very happy and glad also in tears because not only you help me cook without my mom and Grandmas will but you gave us new ideas,tricks and knowledge about how to depend on yourself and not on your parents. You deserve my respect and I’m definitely going to follow the other meals that you are sharing with us thank you so much 😭♥️.
Thank you, Chef. I finally got around to making this and I had to make some alterations. My wife is allergic to pork so I went with chorizo turkey sausage and downgraded the beef from 93% lean to 85% lean. This seemed to solve the fat content issue. Also, I used 32-36oz of low fat, small curd cottage cheese in place of the ricotta. I just added a bit more parsley and nutmeg, but the single egg was enough to do its job. All-in-all, it was a most excellent lasagna and the kids were fighting for the leftovers later that night. Again, thank you for providing this recipe. I'm subbed now for future recipes. Keep up the great work!
I also use some cottage cheese but I go with a 4:1 mix of ricotta to cottage. It adds a bit more ‘tang’ to it. I’m curious about this hack she talked about with soaking the pasta for 30 minutes instead of boiling. Did that work? 🤜🤛
I made this for my family and they LOVED IT! Was asked to make it again and couldn't find your recipe (thought I saved it) and I thought they were going to put me out the house...finally found it and made sure to save it this time.
mi esposa y yo nos animamos y decidimos a preparar esta deliciosa lazaña..y les cuento que nos quedo super bien..claro..cada quien la prepara a su manera..gracias por esta delicia receta..
Accurate title - made it today and it truly is the best! I originally had my eye set on an easier recipe but went with this one once I saw she was mixing Italian sausage with beef. Also I used the last 3-5mins to broil instead for a more golden cheese crust.
This comment is for anyone who is maybe making this for the first time! I myself have never made lasagna before! Writing out all the steps down on paper first will save a lot of time later! Having everything set aside and ready to go like the measurements of ingredients pepper parsley oregano salt nutmeg all that! Then it's just ready to pour in when you are. Also let the mozzarella be the last step you do so that it looks cheesy on top. And when layering don't think everything has to be perfect all the flavors mush into together anyways so just go for it! And if you can't find all the ingredients don't worry it will still come out great!
Wow! Thanks so much, Jackie! I am definitely a perfectionist but I am trying to let go of my perfectionist and nit-picky side when I cook. Your advice is much appreciated :)
This looks fantastic. I love hearing other people's 'hacks' and special little tricks and tips. The only things I add which you didn't here, is finely chopped carrot, celery, beef stock, full fat milk, bay leaves and red wine. Thank you so much for this upload.
2019 and out of all the lasagna videos I choose to follow your recipe your personality was pleasant and directions user friendly although I pushed the vid back a few times I like the ease of your cooking direction thanks from a cool black guy in Bowie,Md just put into oven Cheers “ 🙏🏾 had to come back and edit to say I added two bags of freshly chopped spinach to recipe and only used ground turkey 🦃 with meat sauce
And cook your tomato paste out for at least a minute or two (can do it with the onions at the end). You always need to cook out tomato paste to remove that tiny-ness.
This truly is the best meat sauce recipe ever. I followed it exactly and it was the best lasagna I’ve ever had. The whole family agreed. I can’t wait to make this for more people! It is so worth the extra time, I promise!!
This is Michael's wife, and this recipe is the BOMB! My mother taught me years ago how to make lasagna, however, this one beats all - it is was a HUGE hit with my sons, husband and I loved it too - I'm the pickiest because I made it, I tend to find the smallest problem with it. Thank you for posting, I am going to start looking at all of your other recipes now. Angeline :)
Everytime l make lasagna, l will always go back to this recipe. I usually don’t use fennel and sausages but it’s still soooo delicious. Thank you so much! ❤️
Do you realize if you cut the lids off both sides of a can of tomato paste, discard one lid, then use the second lid to push the paste out. No muss no fuss.
I have tried this recipe and it turned out perfectly So amazing and delicious and I have subscribed But I changed the brocoto cheese to cream yoghurt and tasted amazing
IM MAKING THIS RECIPE TODAY BUT WITH PLANT BASED MEAT... ITALIAN PLATED BASED SAUSAGE & PLANT BASED GROUND BEEFLESS MEAT... CANT WAIT TO TRY IT! IM SERVING GARLIC KNOTS WITH IT YUMMY! 😊
I pressed the like button but I wish I could press it again every time I make this recipe. It’s become a staple at my house. It’s a very fresh taste and very easy to make.

Added oregano into my ricotta mixture because I love oregano! This a great base recipe which is super adaptable. subscribed !!!
Your version sounds better
Just made for the family. My finicky late teen girls LOVED it!!! Each ate 2 pieces!! Wife said it was the best lasagna she ever had!!! Thanks!!
That is awesome!
I’ve been making this recipe (sans sausage) for over 1 year and my family loves it so much! I give The Stay at home chef credit every time someone asks me about it.
Was wondering if it's just as good sans sausage bc some in my family don't like Italian sausage.
When you do it sans sausage, do you double the beef?
@@user-fb4sb1zi8g I don’t, but my family isn’t heavy meat eaters.
@@hli1787 Ok, thank you!
Love Rachel's no nonsense presentation and that she includes a written recipe WITH timestamps. Professional approach. Oh and this is a real good recipe, I'll agree a "Most Amazing Lasagna"! New Sub!
6 yrs later and my family is already checking to make sure I am bringing this to Christmas dinner again this year.
Who is making lasagna today? I'm glad everyone is busy getting toilet paper, hand sanitizer, etc. That way I can find the ingredients for my lasagna, lol 😆 😄
Hahaha! Yes! Me too!
I’m making it today
Lol
@@tmo6695 lol now the locust heard is buying up hand sanitizer
They're stocking up on pasta too 😩
5/5 stars, highly recommend! Made this last night and it was so delish!
Me too!!! With all this 👉🏼🎶 Coronavirus!Coronavirus! This shits getting real 🎶 As Cardi B would say... I decided to skip restaurants to which I can’t go now anyways, and made it 😃
How long did it take you? I think I will go for a faster/easier way to make lasagna 😅
@@Nebulousss It does take time but it is worth it! I can't be bothered to boil the noodles. Start early on your day off and it will be gone the next day.
Hello Kayla please I would love to know you more
I cooked this lasagna tonight, i basically followed the receipt the best i could... the fennel seed & ground oregano really made this dish ** POP ! .... easily one of the best lasagna's ive ever eaten ..... thanks so much for sharing this receipt "Stay at Home Chef".
cheers 🙂
Very happy to see you put ricotta cheese, a lot of ppl don't, I consider it a must.
2019: just made it for my family and it is the best lasagna ever!!! Not too salty, not too sweet but just wonderful!
Full of flavor and chewy, gooey deliciousness!
Thank you!!!!!
Happy everyone liked it! Hope you get to make it again soon (:
I just made this today. The only thing I changed was to substitute five bay leaves for the chopped basil (I just didn't have basil) in making the sauce, which I (of course) removed before adding to the layers. Delicious. Perfectly seasoned. It's definitely going to be in my cooking rotation now.
I just made your lasagna. I followed your recipe and it came out delicious!!! My husband and I thank you very much!!!
Sandra address Mcmahon any tips you found while making it? I'm probably making this tomorrow so any little extra tips would be useful
adam burdt
how did yours turn out?
Denyelle mine turned out outstanding
Sandra address Mcmahon How many can this serve
What kind of lasagna dish did you use?
It is the best lasagna ever! I made it for the whole family, everyone loved it!
It's TRUE folks. She is not lying. This lasagna is the best. I used a slow cooker for the sauce. I'm in tears just tasting this awesome lasagna. Thank you👍
1% came beacuse they tried to make it,99% came cuz they are hungry
For some drama*
Bitch lasanga
Просто Макс this was a year ago noob
actually, 110% came to say that betch lasagna is better
Thank you yeah but this was posted a year ago when that wasn’t a thing dummy
20 years ago I made my first lasagna. It was simple but time consuming. I've always made it the same and it's well loved but I think I'm going to make 2 changes. The noodle idea is genius and so are the cheese SLICES!
Thanks!
I made this for date night with my boyfriend and now he wants lasagna every week. I am not the BEST cook but this video made me a Chef.. 😀
Hey guys just a couple tips! Use oven ready lasagna noodles so you won’t have to do anything to the noodles. Also make this the day before so the flavors really can melt together. Trust me your lasagna will be a lot better.
Okay, I just tried this for the first time last night! It took a very long time and it isn't really a cheap thing to make but it came out so so good!! I very much recommend this!! A few things I would change though is adding more meat sauce so the cheese isn't so over powering. Making mozzarella and parmesan cheese the last layer so it looks all cool and yellow and cheesy on top. (i repeated the pattern and it ended with meat sauce as top coat still yummy but didn't look as cool lol) ...and lastly (i could be wrong) but I heard hot tap water has a lot of bad things in it so I just put cold water in a pot and boiled the water and poured it over the noodles.......just be careful maybe don't pile them evenly on top of each other spread as much as you can and maybe a few time flip them or move them around because mine ended up sticking together and then ripping apart when I tried to separate them. BUT VERY YUMMY!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! :)
I love this recipe. This was my first time ever making lasagna. I went almost to the T on this recipe because I’ve never cooked lasagna before and I never really liked lasagne but I cooked this for my father in law’s 87th birthday dinner and since she said it was the most amazing lasagna, I took her word for it. Everyone loved this recipe. The only thing I did differently was I used 3 lbs 80/20 ground beef because I already had it in the fridge and I needed to cook it. I also added more nutmeg. I just didn’t feel like 1/8 tsp was enough. If I add an ingredient, I want to taste that ingredient. It was not disappointing. I also added the fennel to the ricotta cheese. It was really good. I highly recommend this recipe.
I’ve never made a lasagna before. I wanted to make a lasagna for Christmas and found this recipe. I don’t like fennel; so I skipped it. Love the idea of soaking the noodles; it worked so well. I enjoyed making the lasagna along this video. Thank you! It tasted amazing too!! 👩🍳
Glad to hear that it turned out well and tasted amazing! I'm planning to make this for an upcoming potluck. It'll be my first time making lasagna, so I wanted to see how it was for other first-timers as well! I was a little bit weary about soaking the noodles, but hopefully it'll be okay! Wish me luck :)
This is my first time making lasagna. I’m a avid cook, been cooking for 25 years but never made lasagna. Anyway, I don’t like fennel seed either, do you think it lacked any flavor without it?
LISTEN IVE MADE THIS LASAGNA TWICE NOW & MY BOYFRIEND LOVES IT!! Thank you for showing us your recipe💕
My pleasure 😊
Stay happy forever with him!🙂
Thank you! I am a pretty good long time amature chef. I have used many recipes for many dishes. I tried yours for this Lasagna and had to come back here and say this is the best tasting lasagna I have ever made or had. I say this because not one flavor stands out. It is the perfect combination of each and certainly the fennel seed ads to it even though I can not taste it (that is the way it is supposed to be)
Thank you from me and the Family. EXCELLENT!
Hello. I never thought to put fennel seeds in a sauce but it's a great idea. Fennel seeds are one of the key ingredients to make fresh and dried Italian sausages (also known as soppresata).
I made this tonight and there’s nothing I’d change about this recipe. Definitely a winner. Sauce was great with all the herbs.
followed the recipe to the T. Wow
I think that's a lot of sugar I don't know if I should add
I used to use ricotta for my lasagna until about 20 years ago... That's when I decided to start using cottage cheese. Last night, I tried something new that you will love. Try a pint of cottage cheese, a stick of cream cheese and a cup of spinach alll combined together... Yummy outcome...
I made this recipe several weeks ago and my family loved it!! Makes many servings and leftovers freeze beautifully! I love your videos!! You are such a good cook!!
Thank you!
Yeap she uses so many flavours. That is just beautiful
Hands down the best spaghetti sauce recipe I've ever had!! I will never buy store bought sauce again!!
Thank you for this recipe
I made this for Sunday dinner, trust me, it does not disappoint
Happy you liked it (:
Recently I started reviewing lasagna recipes looking for one that could be my "go to" recipe. I saw this one and reviewed the video and I did not even look at any more recipes. I agree and am comfortable with each step and ingredient so I will try it very soon. I really liked the "noodle hack". This will really help with the dreaded boiling the noodles step, plus I don't care for the new no-boil noodles. Thank you for a good video and recipe.
Have you had a chance to make this? It truly is the most amazing lasagna recipe!
The no boil noodles are great. You just have to make the sauce more watery so that it evaporares and softens the noodles
I wonder why people don't put mozzarella on the top. Isn't taking a golden brown bubbly lasagna out of the oven part of the appeal of lasagna? I put cubes of mozzarella in the ricotta and that's it for the mozzarella in the middle. I save the rest for the top.
TheLatestCrazE the grated cheese is an amazing part of the lasagna. I agree
I'm Italian I don't use ricotta cheese, I use béchamel. and I do use mozzarella on top
SAAME I have to put a shit load ONTOP it’s the best bit
Sarabeth
Some Italian Lasagnas have no mozzarella or ricotta..just a strong sauce made from Parmesan
Because mozzarella goes on Pizza, not on Lasagne... call that pasta with mozzarella not lasagna.
This has been proven to be the best lasagna I’ve ever tasted! My family and everyone I’ve shared the finished product with agrees!
O.M.G I love the way you speak very calm and peacefully
I made this last night and OMG its so good! I added green bell peppers but that was the only change. The sauce is amazing 😍😍
Glad you liked it!!
OMG!!! Just made this last night! And it was THE BEST lasagna I’ve ever had in my life my husband and sister can’t stop talking about it!!
Glad you liked it!!
I have made this receipe heaps and heaps of time. My all time favorite it's exactly as she described it..So flavorful and delicious. Thank you very much for this amazing, divine receipe.
My pleasure 😊
@@Thestayathomechef Hello. I printed this and excited to make. The print says 1/2 cup white wine. You used chicken broth. Which is best please. Love this video!!!
You are the best i cooked exactly how you said and you didn’t disappoint i felt like a real chef cooking for a quality restaurant meal I’m very happy and glad also in tears because not only you help me cook without my mom and Grandmas will but you gave us new ideas,tricks and knowledge about how to depend on yourself and not on your parents. You deserve my respect and I’m definitely going to follow the other meals that you are sharing with us thank you so much 😭♥️.
You are welcome!! Hope to make even more recipes for you to try in the future.
I'm a chef and the way you handle and explain things is probably the best part
Thank you, Chef. I finally got around to making this and I had to make some alterations. My wife is allergic to pork so I went with chorizo turkey sausage and downgraded the beef from 93% lean to 85% lean. This seemed to solve the fat content issue. Also, I used 32-36oz of low fat, small curd cottage cheese in place of the ricotta. I just added a bit more parsley and nutmeg, but the single egg was enough to do its job.
All-in-all, it was a most excellent lasagna and the kids were fighting for the leftovers later that night. Again, thank you for providing this recipe. I'm subbed now for future recipes. Keep up the great work!
Really glad you were able to make it work out!
I also use some cottage cheese but I go with a 4:1 mix of ricotta to cottage. It adds a bit more ‘tang’ to it. I’m curious about this hack she talked about with soaking the pasta for 30 minutes instead of boiling. Did that work?
🤜🤛
I made this for my family and they LOVED IT! Was asked to make it again and couldn't find your recipe (thought I saved it) and I thought they were going to put me out the house...finally found it and made sure to save it this time.
mi esposa y yo nos animamos y decidimos a preparar esta deliciosa lazaña..y les cuento que nos quedo super bien..claro..cada quien la prepara a su manera..gracias por esta delicia receta..
I just made this recipe ( and substituted with spicy Italian sausage) and it was amazing!
I've always used a can opener on both ends of a can of tomato paste and pushed one end through the can. It all comes out clean
I'm 61 when I was a kid that's the way my mother taught me to open the dog food cans. I still do it with other thick can foods.
Accurate title - made it today and it truly is the best! I originally had my eye set on an easier recipe but went with this one once I saw she was mixing Italian sausage with beef. Also I used the last 3-5mins to broil instead for a more golden cheese crust.
This comment is for anyone who is maybe making this for the first time! I myself have never made lasagna before! Writing out all the steps down on paper first will save a lot of time later! Having everything set aside and ready to go like the measurements of ingredients pepper parsley oregano salt nutmeg all that! Then it's just ready to pour in when you are. Also let the mozzarella be the last step you do so that it looks cheesy on top. And when layering don't think everything has to be perfect all the flavors mush into together anyways so just go for it! And if you can't find all the ingredients don't worry it will still come out great!
jackie cooking do I have to add the egg? I don’t like eggs.
Wow! Thanks so much, Jackie! I am definitely a perfectionist but I am trying to let go of my perfectionist and nit-picky side when I cook. Your advice is much appreciated :)
Teacher: what did you do this weekend?
Me: watching lasagna..
not just ordinary lasagna, but *bitch lasagna.*
This looks fantastic. I love hearing other people's 'hacks' and special little tricks and tips. The only things I add which you didn't here, is finely chopped carrot, celery, beef stock, full fat milk, bay leaves and red wine. Thank you so much for this upload.
2019 and out of all the lasagna videos I choose to follow your recipe your personality was pleasant and directions user friendly although I pushed the vid back a few times I like the ease of your cooking direction thanks from a cool black guy in Bowie,Md just put into oven Cheers “ 🙏🏾 had to come back and edit to say I added two bags of freshly chopped spinach to recipe and only used ground turkey 🦃 with meat sauce
Do the noodles first, let them soak while doing your sauce.
Mario Tan do the sauce first, let it simmer for a couple of hours...
dostacos it will
And cook your tomato paste out for at least a minute or two (can do it with the onions at the end). You always need to cook out tomato paste to remove that tiny-ness.
Agree. This is what I did too.
who else watching this during quarantine
Everyone
Literally everyone
Lol I just did
Me😂
This truly is the best meat sauce recipe ever. I followed it exactly and it was the best lasagna I’ve ever had. The whole family agreed. I can’t wait to make this for more people! It is so worth the extra time, I promise!!
I tried it and it's amazing..all my family and friends always ask me to cook it for them ..... Thanks for the great recipe ♥️
My pleasure 😊
This is the best recipe hands down.....can’t ever get any better than this.
Glad you enjoyed it
I kinda followed yours. But did béchamel instead of ricotta and did 5 layers of flat lasagna noodles. Just taste more authentic
i tried this recipe yesterday. Is not so different from my version. Result: Amazing. She is correct. Delicious. Thank you.
My pleasure 😊
This is Michael's wife, and this recipe is the BOMB! My mother taught me years ago how to make lasagna, however, this one beats all - it is was a HUGE hit with my sons, husband and I loved it too - I'm the pickiest because I made it, I tend to find the smallest problem with it. Thank you for posting, I am going to start looking at all of your other recipes now. Angeline :)
i came here because I don't like T-Series
JeanChristophe Boux OMG SAME!!!!!
Comment was made for comedy, I am not an annoying piece of crap.

T series is amazing lol no I’m not jokjng
Nah I’m joking

Everytime l make lasagna, l will always go back to this recipe. I usually don’t use fennel and sausages but it’s still soooo delicious. Thank you so much! ❤️
It's so good!
Thank you so much for the tutorial. Made this for my wife’s birthday and she absolutely loved it. Great way to instruct step by step how to do this.
Ahh that is so sweet that you made this for your wife! Glad she loved it!
I love how she stirs the pot without looking at it. 😂 Lol.
Guys I made this a few weeks ago. It was amazing😩😩 I didn’t have the spicy sausage but it still turned out sooo good. Try it guys
Do you realize if you cut the lids off both sides of a can of tomato paste, discard one lid, then use the second lid to push the paste out. No muss no fuss.
OK but how do you keep the water in the can when you rinse out the last drop of tomato paste?
nunya biznez
The lid you push through is a perfect fit for the can, so it pushes out all the paste. There is nothing left to rinse out.
ck2d that sounds scary. i foresee cut fingers
@@checkmateking2854 unless they start to taste pennies.
@@nunyabiznez6381 i have been doing this for decades with T. Paste cans. Never got cut.
I have tried this recipe and it turned out perfectly
So amazing and delicious and I have subscribed
But I changed the brocoto cheese to cream yoghurt and tasted amazing
IM MAKING THIS RECIPE TODAY BUT WITH PLANT BASED MEAT... ITALIAN PLATED BASED SAUSAGE & PLANT BASED GROUND BEEFLESS MEAT... CANT WAIT TO TRY IT! IM SERVING GARLIC KNOTS WITH IT YUMMY! 😊

My first time making lasagna and I tried this recipe......absolutely to die for! It was very easy to make, considering that I don't really cook
I made it last night and I totally overlooked the suggested time to let it simmer, but it still came out delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
