I originally intended on halving this recipe... as it is only for Zak and I. But then I said, eh, what the hell? The leftovers will still be great. If you're like me... lasagna is still good 5 days in. I think we'll be sufficiently maintained until Thanksgiving.

| Started the cooking with some Thelonious Monk. At that point, it didn't even matter how the lasagna turned out. |
 |
| Most important element: The sauce. |
 |
| Dollops of super fresh ricotta & herbs from Russo's Italian Market around the corner. |
 |
| Took everything in my power NOT to eat it at this point... |
 |
| Also took all of me not to eat it here. Scalding heat tends to ruin food. And mouths. |
 |
| Ahhhh, salvation. |
Oh, it's good. Real good. One qualm: I like my lasagna drowning in sauce. So I like to have extra to top each individual serving with. But I had to use all the sauce for the layering... none left for drowning. Oh well. I'll remember for next time.
Upcoming food adventures:
Perfect way to use up the remaining ricotta.
And perfect way to pretend pasta is healthy.

I need to schedule my visits to Brooklyn around your cooking schedule better.....
ReplyDeleteYou do! I think I always end up not planning to make dinners on the night you'll be there because I'd rather not be cooking the whole time you're with us. But I think it might be about time to change it up... !
