My parents were a bit confused by my choice of having a lasagna for dinner instead of turkey or ham, but i'm also an entire flight away from them so
"I just like lasagna better" is an easy cover
Basically what i said, that and i had already prepped it yesterday.
lasagna is x100 better than traditional xmas dinner any day, in my opinion
Oh yeah, this is my gutbuster lasagna, with 4 hour sauce, bechamel, and each lasagna sheet was dipped in pesto. All completely vegan, and it's basically cooked in a trough it's so thick. Served with a nice persimmon and greens salad with balsamic vinaigrette, bruschetta, and mixed olives. I'm going to bed stuffed.
Classic long-simmered red sauce that i add vegan ground beef, italian sausage, and home roasted red peppers (and a chili or two). Bechamel, which i add white pepper and nutmeg to. Pesto, with fresh basil from my indoor plant and some nicely toasted pine nuts, with a parm-style seasoning. Two egg plants, cut into circles, salted, and roasted, to add a surprise layer in the middle. Blanche your lasagna sheets in salted water, and then toss in the pesto. Bottom layer sauce, sheet, sauce, sheet, eggplant, sauce, sheet, sauce, bechamel, and sprinkle with shredded mozz. Place salted tomato slices on top, and drizzle some olive oil and sprinkle some dried oregano over the tomatos. Bake at 375f until the bechamel bubble, the mozzeralla is bubbling and browned, and the tomatoes have caramelized. I like to broil it for an extra thirty seconds or so. Let rest for 20 minutes. Eat, and then nap immediately.
This sounds dope and I will be making this
This thing weighed like 8 pounds when i picked it up lol. And there's enough olive oil in it to make an italian sweat. Enjoy!
Need a cross-section asap, that looks solid.
It's a killer lasagna, i can only have a slice or two before i'm full lmao.
The bechamel came from Moussaka, which i'm a huge fan of. Pesto on the noodles is just a "i want garlic" impulsive thought. The pan is why i mentioned i used a trough to cook it, it's thick as hell. I'm glad you enjoyed it, cheers!
Goddamn that sounds incredible. I mean I love a good Christmas roast but that sounds like it would be an amazing replacement
It's one of those recipes i keep in my back pocket to impress. I'm gonna have gnarly heartburn, but it's worth it.
