As our contribution to the wedding potluck I have made my mommy’s lasagna. It’s a dry lasagne made with more cheese than you can shake a stick at. It’s so damn good it just isn’t funny. 🙂
(A dry lasagna means that it doesn’t have any sauce inside with the cheese and noodles, you add it at the end on top. 🙂
Weird.
I’m sure I’ve *had* not-dry lasagne before, as it’s probably what you get at cafeteria and Olive Garden and whatnot. But it never occurred to me that in order to make it you would add any marinara until you’d assembled the pasta and cheese.
The benefit of making it with the sauce inside is that you don’t have to boil the noodles first. (Those noodles that say “no-boil” aren’t special, they just have special packaging.)
That said, I wanna try something like what she described above. It sounds yummy-you-betcha.
Ooo. Not having to boil the noodles first would be *really* helpful. I’m not especially deft when it comes to small muscle movements and would usually wrinkle (or sometimes tear) the noodles trying to place them, even if they were quite ‘al dente’ when I took them out of the water.
I made my mommy’s enchiladas
I hope both you and were kind enough to leave the receipes for your dishes… I didn’t get to try either of your potluck offerings. That said, thank you so much for helping feed the multitudes!
*hugs to you both*
I didn’t, cause I just sort of make it up on the fly.
*shrug* that’s the way I usually cook too. No problem.
Mmm! I’ll have to try making that someday. I’m afraid I didn’t get to try it at the wedding.
