When I ask Bryn what she would like for a special dinner, it is always "Eva's Lasagne," which happens to be real Italian lasagne, which I happen to make from Marcella Hazan's
Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking...I just don't do the spinach noodles. Eva made it with plain noodles the first time Bryn tasted it, and that is the way she remembers it..
So Friday, I made
Marcella's bolognese. Added silky bechamel to it.
I made my own lasagne noodles--rolled to #8 on the Atlas pasta machine,
so thin you can read through them. I precooked them the way Marcella
says to (
this was the step I whined about the first time and brought
Marcella herself to my blog to say: suck it up buttercup. Why would you
want to do it less than the right way?? I paraphrase, of course.)
I made a lot of layers. A lot.
And it was good.
