Natalie & Christopher in Germany

Hey there!

We are Natalie and Christopher. We blog about life in the suburbs of Orlando, FL with no kids and one dog. Thanks for checking in.

Lasagna

I love Italian food, especially dishes with red sauce. Spaghetti and meatballs are so delicious, baked ziti is tasty, but lasagna has to be my very favorite. I don't really have a recipe it's a "wing it" meal I learned from my mom, the "wing it" Queen. 



I make red sauce in large batches so I pretty much always have it on hand in my freezer. I think you should make a giant batch too! ...Recipe soon, I just realized I've never shared it and I've never taken pictures so I'll do that next time I make a batch, promise!

I make lasagna in 2 8x8 pans because that is plenty of food for Christopher and I to have 1 pan for dinner and leftovers and the second pan to freeze for later. 

I put a little sauce on the bottom of the pan, then layer noodles, ricotta mixture*, sauce, mozzarella, noodles, ricotta, sauce, mozzarella, noodles, both cheeses and end with sauce on top. 

ricotta mixture = one container of ricotta cheese, two eggs, a little bit of oregano, and sometimes a few other happy Italian spices.  I also pipe ricotta mixture like frosting in a zip top bag with a corner cut off, it's easier than trying to spread it over wiggly noodles. 

Bake until bubbly and for the sake of your oven place a baking sheet under the pan because things are going to get saucy in there. 

I serve lasagna with garlic bread and salad, and I could eat it every day of my life.
