it just so happens that for about the last, oh... maybe 3 months, i have been craving my mother's lasagna. i have tried several versions (restaurant, friends', etc) in the attempt to please my palate and nothing has quite come close enough. so in further attempts, it just so happens that i have acquired the wonderful recipe (uh, scratched out directions) 3 weeks ago via phone call (due to technological difficulties on my mother's end). and it also, just so happens, that i had made a trip to the grocery store and bought all of the ingredients about 3 weeks ago. so naturally, 3 weeks later i have found the time and i finally decided that a night of monday night football with the steelers v. the broncos would be complemented perfectly with a piece of my my mother's wonderful lasagna. entertainment all the way around.
so, 2.5 to 3 hours later, spilled sauce, a kitchen war zone, and about 6 phone calls to my mother, i had achieved my results.
the verdict:
not too bad for the first time, actually quite delicious.
bonus:
i actually made a healthy version including whole wheat pasta, turkey instead of hamburger, and i forget what else.... but it was good.
double bonus:
i hear it is supposed to be even better served up as leftovers.
triple bonus:
I have plenty for the rest of the week, as i made a whole pan.
as for the rest of the night, go steelers.
