Ha, I’d have expected you to make your own noodles
Note that if your noodles do not require you to pre-cook them, you do want to make sure every part of it is covered in sauce/cheese, otherwise it’d stay hard.
Okay, if that parmesan comes out of a bottle, you’re gonna have a bad time. Grating your own parmesan isn’t hard, but you can also find it pre-grated in the refrigerated cheese section.
Otherwise, you might as well just replace it with MSG and salt, because that’s what the dried stuff is.
Something my roommates and I make all the time: Tacosagna.
Substitute queso dip and shredded three-cheese mexican mix for italian cheese mix. Use ground beef with taco seasoning mixed with salsa instead of red sauce. Add in refried beans, crumpled up taco shells or Doritos, salsa, and chipotle sauce. Top with sour cream, chives, and more cheese.
“Give it a good mix” Hah! XD
Love it! I’ve never made lasagna that way, with the alternating sauce layers, but it does sound awesome!
I also like Allvah’s Tacosagna recipe! Thanks, dude or dudette!
My three year old thanks you! I was a ramen noodle champ before I met my husband. (He was pretty grossed out that all I ate was ramen noodles and stewed tomatoes. So he started cooking for me.) He past away last year. Since cooking was his thing and something I dread, it’s been hard to not order delivery. It’s bad when your kid says, “Mommy, I don wanna pizza again.” Thank you for making it a little easier on both of us.
really, though, need to thank you. You gave me a bit of confidence to try myself in the kitchen and I didn’t make it explode. Now I’m sending my woman OUT of the kitchen because it is now a place of manly dominance (also, she’s better at D3 than I am :C )
I need moar D:
and you need to get published because your stuff is teh SHIZZLE
You’d be surprised, but a lot of people don’t know how to make a good tomato sauce, and it would be helpful if you gave some steps for that here. You could recommend a meat sauce or vegetarian sauce?
It’s all in the sauce! I find that it makes all the difference to base the meat sauce of 1/2 and 1/2 mild Italian sausage and ground beef. The other critical part is ground fennel.
a few of my buddies made this lasagna using this recipe a few nights ago, and it turned out absolutely wonderful!
i’m gonna continue destroying the kitchen with your recipes!
just made this with yer bolo recipe for the sauce… added bacon and tabasco to the bolo and cheddar to the top of the laz… HOLY MOTHER OF FUCKKKKK… GOOOOD.
I made this a few days ago for my family, and they LOVED it!! I made it in a big dish so we’ve had leftovers for a few days and it blows our minds how it gets better and better each day. What I love most is that I can make it next year at college. Thank you so much for your comics; they’re hilarious and the food is tasty!
Made the bolognese sauce last night. Had quite a large container, figured I’d have to freeze some.
Came home from work today and put the lasagna together. Had enough to fill an 8×8 dish and a 7.5×11 dish to the brim – ended up using all the cheese and about 90% of the sauce.
Congratulations on your book! I love the easy constructions. I must be a visual learner, because I don’ usually use recipes, but yours look scrumptious. Having just received this site from my wonderful son, Ross, I guess I will take the hint! He will be visiting this year. Plenty of time to practice. Thank you for this site.
I made this last night and it was really good except for the lasagna noodles. They were more undercooked than al dente. Next time I will soak the noodles in room temperature water for a few minutes before layering. Super easy recipe though. Tasted great!
I made this and ended up with a “cheese pie”. Can you provide more details about:
- how much sauce
- layer thickness (the sauce layers basically cooked down from 1/2″ to nothing)
- adding MEAT! and spinach!
I made this (with your original recipe red sauce) for my coworkers and roommate. Let’s just say everyone had seconds and your estimate that it feeds six people was right on. I was planning on buying your upcoming cookbook, but felt it was my duty as an informed consumer to make a recipe test first. Consider that book purchased! (Because it is.)
I know I’m late to the party, but I just made this today. It was fucking AWESOME. My note is, if you’re going to use sauce out of a jar like I did, make sure it’s something that has a little kick to it, as the cheese neutralizes weaker sauces a little bit. Thanks, mang! I whitelisted you on adblock for gratitude and stuff. THUMBS UP.

dude this awesome making this shizz tomorrow!
June 6th, 2012 at 7:38 pm
Awesome as always.
June 6th, 2012 at 7:50 pm
Not cooking the noodles simplifies things immensely. Really good recipe on its own and for building on.
June 6th, 2012 at 8:53 pm
The fact that you play DayZ just made your amazing-factor go through the roof. Hats off to you, my friend.
June 6th, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Going to have to do one about beans for DayZ.
June 6th, 2012 at 10:59 pm
It just so happens I was looking for something new to try.
Also, props for the Day Z shoutout. Keepin it real.

Ricotta AND cottage cheese?! Mind. Blown. Sweet.

that looks yummy!!!!!!!:)
June 7th, 2012 at 8:15 am
Doesn’t the bottom layer of noodles get all crisped cause the bottom isn’t covered in sauce?
That said, thx again for the awesomeness.
June 7th, 2012 at 2:51 pm
Hey I lovethis. Easy …but way now meat or bacon…yust souce!!..
June 7th, 2012 at 7:55 pm
Don’t ever stop posting. I always look forward to new posts ! Thanks !
June 7th, 2012 at 9:17 pm
@Freek. No, I don’t think he would try and do us like that.
June 7th, 2012 at 11:17 pm
@Freek: A little butter is usually good on the bottom of the pan. Plus, the juices from the sauce will keep everything moist.
June 8th, 2012 at 1:40 pm
What game is that?
June 8th, 2012 at 4:40 pm
Man that looks good, but would probably be better with some bacon. Thanks for the recipe!

June 10th, 2012 at 3:59 am
i think i missed where he made the basic sauce from,(previous post?) is it the sauce from the spaghetti?
June 11th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
“Give it a good mix” made me go from “heh” to “AHAHAHAHHAHA” in about 10 seconds. This is why I love this stuff, awesome.

I`m always scared to make lasagna, but this looks too good not to make. I love it!

I am curious to know if your book will be available on the iPad. Please satiate my curiosity yet again.
June 25th, 2012 at 1:45 pm
“Give it a good mix.” Made my day. Keep the goods coming, looking forward to the book.

June 27th, 2012 at 10:29 pm
“For science!” Man, I actually cheered when I saw that. Keep ‘em coming, your stuff’s awesome.

Threw it in the oven, went to the gym, came back.
Oh.
My.
Sweet.
Baby.
Jesus.
This was delicious.

Extremely well done. I made this last week and now I’m getting respect as a cook…….
….but I’m not a cook!
Thanks for the recipe.

One idea, a quick pdf of ingredients list to print off. Anywho, great stuff. Love your work.

Made this and it was epic. First time making this and was way easier than I thought it would be.

- adding MEAT! and spinach!
