I'd say the $80 and $8 posters are both off by a bit . I also now realize that a pan of lasagna is more expensive than I realized.

One lb of ground beef won't make a large tray. You need at least 50% more ingredients. ONE egg?
How many people are you feeding, four?

Also, I personally, and i am not the poster who originally posted about the $80 lasagna, but I only use bufalo mozzarella. If you want to use REAL parmesan, that is significantly more expensive than the fake American stuff (you could never buy it for $6) with all the accordant health benefits of being made in Parma Italy with centuries old techniques and grass fed cows. To me, it's 100% worth it to spend extra for the better taste, texture, and health.

You also didn't add in fresh basil, which I always add to my lasagnas.

But what I can't fathom is why anyone is bothering to make "fancy" lasagna. Lasagna, che schifo. It would be like making "fancy" sloppy joes. This is not an elegant Italian meal by any stretch. Spend your money making crespelle fiorentina, not lasagna. Lasagna is for i cafoni.

So you've never had the Bernaise Burger at J.G. Melon's then. Never spent money on a cupcake from a nice bakery? Never had a real neapolitan pizza that costs more than Dominos?

There are lots of simple, humble foods that taste better when you have higher quality ingredients. In fact, i would argue that in many ways, using the more expensive ingredients gives you a truer food to what the original recipe intended, because whole foods tend to cost more than the mass-made, watered down crap on most of the grocery shelves. I personally will pay more to have a product that I know is healthy and good and the ingredients aren't a list of chemicals I don't recognize. I think it tastes much better too.

This was my first post in this thread (I am not the $8 pp). I was just pointing out that I don't think lasagna can be "fancy." Can it be well made and delicious? Certo. But I would never serve lasagna as a "fancy" dish. Especially not to any Italians.

No, I wouldn't either. But since I am gluten free, my lasagnas that I made for myself, during college when I was broke and using the cheapest materials I could find (aka, cheese I would never use now that I am a grad) still ran me about $35 a pan (not for a large pan either). I use a very high quality tomato sauce, per my mom's recipe (who also raised us eating healthy). I don't consider it a fancy food, I just think when you are buying nice food that's not mass produced, you have to expect to pay more. The idea of an $8 lasagna is patently absurd to me.

Gluten free noodles are all over the place now and they are not expensive. Homemade sauce is delicious but not necessarily expensive.

The brand I use is about $10. I don't make the price. It's the brand I grew up eating and a very respected one. I'm willing to spend $10 for my jar of marinara sauce, why do you care so much?

Also, I don't use gluten free noodles. I generally use some kind of vegetable/fruit, either zucchini, eggplant, or spaghetti squash.

You know that you should send away for coupons and buy that sauce on sale, right? You could make much better at home and for less money.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a while. A respected tomato sauce?

Meaning it ain't Prego. And you can't buy it for sale for 50 cents, which throws the whole $8 lasagna algorithm off

What if one buys a can of San Marzano tomatoes for about $4-5 and makes her own sauce? Mind blown.

What if they want to buy the premade, preseasoned tomato sauce that they love?

Because homemade sauce is much, MUCH better. And less expensive. Win-win.

And people like what they like. And you don't get to dictate how they cook. I know that kills you.

Fine. As long as you accept the fact that I like $3.00 grocery store pies.

I would. And how about you build a bridge and get the hell over it? What's it to you how someone wants to spend their own money on their own food that you're not even going to eat? Take a xanax.

It has nothing to do with cost and everything to do with value. And you holding up CM as your example tells me you're out of touch by many years.

But if Casa Luca or Masseria are the Cici's in this equation, sign me up.

I'm with you, PP. I once saw a label with ascorbic acid listed. ACID? Serioulsy? In my food? NO WAY. And forget about dihydrogen monoxide...there's HYDROGEN in there! THEY MAKE BOMBS OUT OF HYDROGEN!

Do you not drink water? That is made out of hydrogen, too.

No, CiCi's is CiCis, as that seems to be the quality level that you are used to with your $8 lasagna.

And if you want to be really fancy you can order some garlic bread on the side for an extra 50 cents.

So Golden Corral then, right? Or maybe Ci-Ci's pizza? I bet you can get an $8 lasagna there!

You can easily find some good lasagna for closer to $8 a plate than $80. No one charges that much for lasagna, only the $80 pp spends that kind of money on a basic pasta dish.

I would. And how about you build a bridge and get the hell over it? What's it to you how someone wants to spend their own money on their own food that you're not even going to eat? Take a xanax.

I don't care if you spend $80 on a plate of lasagna. I really don't. Just don't expect me to think that is smart of you.

And instead you force me to eat fucking LASAGNA? Gag.

But it wouldn't be a FUCKING LASAGNA then would it?

Do you go insane when you see people spending large amounts of money on pasta at Cafe Milano too? After all, they should be eating ragu and barilla, right?

Well, Cafe Milano is garbage so...yeah. They should be at Casa Luca.

Please provide us with a list of places that someone can appropriately spend their money so you won't be offended.

Dinner at Golden Corral for everyone!

Eating at Cafe Milano for anything more than people-watching is offensive to my tastebuds

No one cares whether you think it's smart or not. We are too busy eating our extremely delicious, organic, "fancy" lasagna with GASP!!!! store bought sauce.

I think it is amusing that people are arguing about groceries to make lasagna. I will gladly eat your $80 lasagna. For all the people nitpicking, you usually have to buy more than you actually use. You don't just buy 1 egg.

CiCis pizza might rank as the top restaurant for unsanitary conditions - it's absolutely disgusting.
