[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only like my lasagna, made properly with Bechamel sauce and not gobs of nasty mozarella and ricotta-a la trailer trash style like most Americans make it[/quote]

I agree. Americans take a great dish and completely bastardize it into.something awful.

I make mine with a homemade beef and pork ragu, bechamel, and I buy fresh lasagne noodles, not that nasty dry crap from a box. My modification from the traditional is I add a large amount of mushrooms and spinach that is cooked down and sometimes I add a thin layer of eggplant that has the water drawn out. Never any mozarella to croak on me ricotta. Just some fresh parmesan on top.

I don't make it that often because it takes a long time. [/quote]

You are talking about making lasagne, not lasagna.  Lasagna is the bastsrd child of lasagne.[/quote]

Huh? No.

lasagna = the singular form for the type of pasta used in the dish
lasagne = the plural form (used because obviously you include more than one piece of lasagna noodle in the dish)[/quote]

Very good Google, but I'm Italian and we don't call it lasagna, ever. Just because thr word exists in singular form doesnt mean that is hobbits said.   Just the same as Americans wouldn't say I need to wash my clothe or I can't read that, can you hand me my glass?[/quote]
