lasagne

One of the best gifts I’ve ever received is a handy, rotary pasta machine. It means that when the fancy takes me, I make my pasta fresh, and I’ve turned out rather serviceable panzerotti, ravioli and all other manner of stuffed pasta. Usually though, in party because I’m a lazy bastard, and in party because it’s one of my favourite things on earth, I make lasagne; and there’s very little on earth that tops a homemade lasagne, made with fresh homemade pasta.

A traditional Neapolitan dish, the lasagne is made with alternating layers of Neapolitan ragu, bechamel, and – if you can afford and find the stuff, Parmigiano-Reggiano. I’m not actually too fussy with a lasagne; the ragu needn’t be made with a soffritto (or mirepoix), the bechamel needn’t have infused clove flavours and I don’t really care if you use a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella in place of the parmigiano. The only thing? It needs to be discrete layers. I hate it when you can’t clearly see the different layers of goodness. That’s not a lasgne; it’s a messy stew with pasta in it.

      Last time I had lasagne, my friend must have dropped the garlic bottle into the damn food. I farted for a week nonstop after that.

            You should have farted under the blanket, AND PULLED IT OVER HER!

            If she stays with you after that, then it is TRUE LOVE!

            (I should know, I did the same to my wife in the early stages of dating)

            That is how I know for a fact that she loves me

            My farts are toxic. I do not think that is what she had in mind when she said she will lay down her life for me…

          The only thing worse than a garlic fart, is a garlic fart in a hot, humid, enclosed space…. like a shower………

    Lasagne is great, but it can take a while to make it. A lot of effort. I could not be arsed to make it more than once or twice a year.

    When I first saw the header my first thought was, “Do not tell me that that is another Debonairs pizza”, it’s like their marketing team hits creative block “I don’t know what to do to make our pizzas more attractive, the last time we had this problem was when it had thirty four thousand, eight hundred and sixty two layers of dough with twenty two thousand three hundred and forty five types of cheese in it… Eurika!! Let’s add another layer and some more cheese!!” But lasagne’s cool too….

        Hahahahahahaha!!!! Aaah man!! That must’ve ended really well! I honestly don’t see the point in stacking them as high as they do…You always end up taking the layers off anyway and cryo freezing the stuff to be eaten another day, because having one slice is instant cholesterol…
