[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1 lb of organic laura's 90% ground beef ~ $8.00
1 box barilla lasagna noodles ~ $1.50
1 jar rao's sauce, often on sale at giant for ~ $6
1 bag shredded organic moz cheese ~ $4
1 container organic ricotta cheese ~ $5
1 cage free brown egg ~ $0.30
1 container grated real parm cheese ~ $6
1 bag organic spinach ~ $3

Total = close to $35

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?

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. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
