  • We challenged chefs of three different levels - an amateur, a home cook and a professional chef - to make their versions of lasagna. And then we brought in a food scientist to review their work. Which Lasagna was the best?
    Check out the professional's recipe here on the ICE blog: www.ice.edu/blog/frank-proto-...

    I want to see an episode where, after every chef finishes cooking, they all taste each others' dishes, and give their sincere opinion, and maybe share some ideas of reasonable improvement.
    And I mean "reasonable" as in "you could use this kind of spice", and not "you should grow your own cows".

      You don't need to add sugar or honey to tomato sauce. You can add a carrot then take it out to cut the acidity and if it's not sweet that means it's not cooked long enough. Tomato sauce should take 4 hours on a simmer to make.

    Frank's version is more similar to our Italian lasagne bolognesi.
    In some areas, people will add pancetta or lard to the minced meat, and in Naples, they also use prosciutto and mozzarella.
    To be honest, lasagne can be made with anything, as the name stands for the pasta: there is lasagne al pesto, ricotta&spinach lasagne, vegetable lasagne etc... all sorts of variety!
    Anyway, the original recipe for lasagne bolognesi consists of:
    Onion, celery and carrots all chopped in irregular sizes (some small, some bigger);
    Minced beef meat (and you may add lard and pancetta too);
    Sage;
    Tomato paste and tomato sauce;
    Salt, pepper and perhaps even sugar, depending on how ripe the tomato is (the higher the quality of your tomatoes, the less sour they taste);
    Bechamel:
    Butter, flour and milk;
    salt, pepper and nutmeg.
    And obviously, Parmigiano!

      I think they don't do that because the chef's probably aren't filming on the same day and the taste test would be compromised if one dish has been in the fridge for 3 days and the other is fresh out of the oven.
      Inviting them at the same time is a bigger hassle than you'd think. Filming just one of the chefs could already take a full day of preparation and recording.

    The corner piece is a highly debatable thing for lasagna. If you prefer a slightly drier lasagna, go for it. For me, I like 1 crispy edge. If there are those that don't like crispy edges, there be at least 3 pieces along the width side.
    If Garfield is an actual live cat, he'd go for all 3 in a heartbeat.
