Going to Harris Teeter later today….Easy and looks DELICIOUS π
Um youβre suppose to use lean meat so itβs not too wet in the end for the same reason now youβre having to remove the fat. So many things incorrect here… red flag moving on

Way too light on the cheese.
Looks delicious!
Yum definitely I will try simply and looks delicious
Making tomorrow for mothers day
Thanks β€
That was an excellent recipe. Iβve never seen the noodles prepared, laid out, and then layered in the lasagna like that β¦ I thought it was a very clever way of preparing the noodles to keep them from sticking together and to ensure you use them all in the most effective and efficient way possible. I learned something new β¦ and have been preparing lasagna for years?! Lol So Thank you for sharing your recipe!! β€οΈππ
You're suppose to put eggs into the ricotta,
What the hell? Garlic and onion powder? For real? Why not just use real garlic and onion, makes all the difference
It looks great
It looks do-able for a novice. I;ll give it a try! Thanks SO much!
If youβre using canned tomatoes always remove the basil. Itβs been in that can for who knows how long and tends to be bitter. Replace with fresh basil or omit it
Cool technics, Iβm going to try them out myself today.
I made the motz noodles. They turned out pretty good.
I'm making for the second time today thanks!!
When you said you were going to add the 'erbs, I was glad that 2 of the 6 ingredients you added actually turned out to be herbs.
Look goodβ¦check out how I made mine
Thanks, I don't simmer my sauce for 1 hr tho, and I don't use that much cheese in a smaller baking dish.
Can the ricotta be added by itself without the other cheese?
yeah…. nothin like a little lint with your noodles
Making it tonight.. looks yummy
Good foodπ«’π«’π«’π
I'm making this tomorrow, but I'm making homemade ravioli instead. π

Thank you lady!π
Thank you! You donβt know how this helped me with a childhood favorite I remember and at 46 am cooking. Your recipe blended my dadβs and it made it very tasty and helpful!
The greatest can be used for a TON of things. Don't waste. There's common groups in every community that you can give or trade stuff with
1:02 I put the grease outside in a tub in my orchard & the magpies come & peck at it. I see their beak marks all through it from where they've been eating it.
Thank you for the recipe!
Thank youβ€
Oven temp?
My favorite pasta dishes are ofcourse lasagna, fettuccine Alfredo, penne 4 cheese, cheese tortellini with chicken Curry, tuna pasta salad, shell pasta with (yogurt, garlic, minced beef & pinenuts), shell pasta & beef tomato soup with (garlic, dried mint & lemon), orzo & chicken pilaf…
A little expensive beef choice for lasagna – in one breath you say itβs great but then say you drain it (It also doesnβt clog your pipes if you run hot water and youβre not dumping like a gallon of oil). Ps are you getting props from Costco??? Iβm still giggling about the wagyu beef choice. Oi vey.
