lasagna



This lasagna was made almost entirely from scratch.  It took almost the whole afternoon.  P ground dark meat chicken with a meat grinder, combined it with sweet italian sausage (ok, not homemade), and made a sauce out of it.  We then made our own pasta, which is simply a combination of egg and 00 flour, kneaded, and passed through the kitchenaid pasta making attachment.  We layered sauce, pasta sheet, spinach, ricotta, and then topped it all off with mozzarella (also not homemade).

I've made lasagna in the past with no-cook noodles and regular dry noodles, but homemade is by far the best.  It came out soft, rich, and flavorful.  I savored each bite.

These pictures were taken immediately after the lasagna came out of the oven, which is why everything is so gooey.  Not the best representation of the layers, but I couldn't wait for things to cool down before shoving it in my mouth.
