When the recipe says 3 garlic cloves, I go with 7. A man definitely after my own heart. Go John!!!!!!!!
@nickbartram43 you can never have enough garlic. 😊
💯
@@ruthmarcano631 I've gone pretty crazy with it and I've _still_ never reached the point of "that's too much garlic".
For a better option to sugar in your sauce, use a pinch or two of baking soda to neutralize a little of the acidity in the tomatoes. This is a fantastic option for people watching their sugars or those who don't like Americanized sweet tomato sauce.
This is what I do too. It’s also fun to watch the chemical reaction. ⚗️
Great idea 🎉!!
Thank you for the tip!
I probably won't try that out, but it's good to know. But I like whole peeled romas, better than crushed
@@Mainecoonlady. No problem cooking my sauce. It's an all day affair. 🤣 Parmesan rinds and a few pats of butter at the very end also combat the natural acidity from the tomatoes.
What I want to know is how does John not have his own cooking show on TV? He’s much better at explaining things, more entertaining and more relatable to the average person than these “super star chefs”
I have to agree on that. I have been a fan of his cooking for some time now and the recipe always comes out perfect.
facts!
You probably make more money on CZcams. And you get to control what you make
Who watches TV nowadays? On YT you have worldwide views, you generate views perpetually and have control of your content, that sounds like a better deal than your average morning show in America.
Please. talk. less like some of the silent cooks .We can all understand with subtitles .Too much explanation is.distracting
Can I just say that your commentary while cooking is just the best! I just loved your information about the pewter dishes.
A hack I learned was to make smaller lasagna by assembling in loaf pans. Right now, it's just me and my mom, and the large lasagnas we made would mostly go to waste. Make one for supper, freeze the rest, bake the others later.
Omg I'm glad I read this comment,, it's only me and my mom too,, been craving lasagna but don't want to leave waste!! Tysm!!
@@uwubelle817 To freeze, let the mix cool, it should be fairly cool anyway since you didn't bake it, but I don't know how soon after making the sauce you're assembling the lasagna. Tightly seal it in foil and write the date on it (and contents). Thaw in the fridge for a day or so before cooking. Maybe add ten minutes to cooking if it's still a bit soupy.
@@Craxin01 okay noted,, tysm!! Again so kind.
If ever run for congress, my first bill would be to draft a law that all recipes posted online should be formatted the way you do yours on Preppy Kitchen. Thank you!!
I made this recipe and it is 100% the best dish I have ever made. The measurements were exactly as they should be . I couldn’t make this more delicious if I tried. The dried basil adds a depth of flavor and I did end up adding red pepper flakes like you said. Thank you so much for this wonderful lasagna recipe! ❤
Pimenta na lasanha deve ficar divino❤
I have made several things that John made content on. All turned out perfectly. In fact I have made the soft pretzels 4 times now. The thumbprint cookies...delicious.
My MIL makes amazing lasagna but I knew it was missing something--red pepper flakes and some heat!
I would love to try the soft pretzel recipe! I'm timid because I'm more of a cook than a baker, but John's homemade pretzels sound like THE BOMB. 🥨 Thanks for letting us know they turned out so great ❤ @@5GreenAcres
I also love when you add a bit of history to the dishes ❤❤❤❤
Yesssss!
Me, too. I loved the line "imagine Italian food without tomatoes.... I can but only because I put a lot of thought into it". Something like that. Very clever.
he's literally the only person I can watch over and over again without getting bored or tired 💖 you inspire me sm w my channel 💖🥰🍓♥️♥️🥰♥️
I can never resist those bubbling blobs of cheese when the lasagna is fresh out the oven. Yummers! 😋
Yes exactly! I think most are drawn to the bubbly cheesy eye candy goodness that it does so well …. out of a hot oven. 😋
I made this a few weeks ago and especially enjoyed how flavorful the meat sauce was. Thanks for all the excellent recipes and videos!
My son requested lasagna for Father's Day. I made the sauce the day before and put it in a slow cooker on low overnight. I put the lasagna together before church and put it in the oven at 225 F until after church, 3 hours later, and it was fabulous!!! It wasn't over cooked and it held together perfectly! I make my sauce and ricotta mixture similar to yours. I didn't have any Italian sausage which would have made it even better!! I love to watch you cook and have made several of your recipes which are a-maz-ing!!!!
Thank you for this recipe and all your recipes! You have inspired me more than once to cook some delicious dishes! I love the way you explain things and that your recipes don’t require so many ingredients! You are awesome! 🥰
This was my first time making lasagna and you made it so easy to make. Plus it came out delicious!! Everyone loved it! Thank you! 🫶🏽
I made this recipe last night and it was delicious! Thank you for your recipes 🙌
Made this several times following this recipe and it is very delicious every time!
Absolutely, this lasagna recipe never fails to impress! If you ever feel like tweaking it a bit, trying a different type of cheese can add a new twist. I've found some great variations on CookWithAnna blog that are equally delicious. Keeps things interesting in the kitchen!
I absolutely love the Preppy Kitchen guy! Thank you so much for all your recipes. I tried many and they are the best ever! ☺
I love that every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new! Thanks John ❤
My girlfriend made this recipe last night and it was PERFECT. Super simple to follow and the final product was delicious. We will definitely make this again in the near future !
I absolutely love your channel and follow all your recipes! Thanks for adding all the measurements in grams too ❤️
I’m loving these little history inserts, so fascinating! 😍
Omg I almost licked the screen when you took the lasagna out of the oven! I have to try your version. It looked amazing!
gross
@@mjm3091shutup
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I made this lasagna recipe, and I have to say, it is the best my lasagna has ever tasted. I have made the sauce several times now, and it too is the best. I hesitated to put that amount of sugar because I used another recipe from someone else, and it was too sweet. My first batch didn't come out quite as good because I halved the amount. Now I use the full amount and it's perfect. I find all of the recipes John has given, and I have made have ALL been awesome in flavor. I will be getting his cookbook!
Thank you so much for this recipe, my family loved it! Your videos are very easy to follow and I enjoy learning from you. You definitely need your own show on television. 😃
Made this a few days ago for my first time EVER making lasagna and this turned out amazing❤️ I highly recommend this video for making lasagna
Great recipe. Pretty close to my Moms. Sauce, of course needs to simmer for at least 3 hours to slow cook the tomatoes until sweet, but ingredients are spot on. I use tomato purée with no tomato paste. This makes the sauce smooth and less acidic. Construction. When placing lasagna pasta in layers, I was taught to alternate the directions of each layer. Horizontal, then vertical to knit the layers together firmly and assist in cutting/serving a compact portion in plating. I also make a low carb version with baked, breaded (or not) eggplant. The eggplant adds an amazing flavor to the sauce, sausage and cheeses. My Italian Mom would like your lasagna. That says a lot! Cheers!
I never thought of alternating the direction of the layers😯 thanks for the tip! 🤗
Yes, great tip to make a better presentation!❤
In my family we usually love :
extra virgin olive oil for the "soffritto" (i usually cook carrots, celery and onions in it)
A little bit of white wine before adding your tomato sauce
Bechamel sauce
Mozzarella
a little bit of parmigiano cheese on top to get that delicious crust
Isn’t that Greek moussaka?
Gotta love a lasagne! I can never get the layers right though, so I cheat! I do an all or nothing, everything in, lasagne style bake with shells (conchiglie) instead of sheets. Makes a nice change to a traditional lasagne and goes great with chips (fries)! ❤
I haven't made Lasagna in a while but it's Fall and your recipe looks scrumptious as usual !
You make the sauce and ricotta just like my mother did! Her family was from a town not far from Naples. actually, she grated parmesan into the ricotta, and mozzarella into the layers as well. Great job!
Ok I made this and I used the lemon zest and even a little fresh lemon juice from the lemon and my goodness you could definitely taste the difference it tasted sooo incredible after the lemon definitely recommend using it
Love your cooking you explain exactly how to make great dishes thank you
I love the way you're quick and efficient and you're so entertaining too.😆👍👍 Thanks for posting your wonderful recipes. Easy to follow.❤
I made this last night for my family..
So easy although I left out Italian sausage. It was delicious and clean plates all round.😊
I COULD NOT believe you made the Lasagna without Bechamel sauce. It looks delicious 😋 and I will try it.
This looks really good! Beautifully presented! 😀
This looks so good! For me tho, I prefer a Bechamel sauce (nothing wrong ricotta if that's what you guys like). Little bit lighter, little bit smoother. Good work
I made this last night and it was amazing!! 😍 thank you for the recipe
you are amazingly fun and make the most delicious foods..love making your recipes
I've been following your channel for a year now, and I am excited to make this recipe. Thank you. 😊
One of the best videos for Lasagne I've seen! Looks amazing!! ....And baking my own as I write this.... 😀
Lasagna guy here !
I’ll try your version 😊
Cheers from San Diego California
Nice to see you feel the same way about garlic as I do 🤣 I always use several cloves when a recipe asks for three.
Very good video. My complements to whoever was managing the cameras; the angles were great and it was easy to see what was going on. I appreciate the closeups.
Ate this at work for the first time and boy oh boy I love this, I had to know how they make it so I can also make mine at home ☺️
That’s a beautiful oven!!!! I need that in my life!
Thank you so much for this recipe I have been waiting for this day, definitely gonna try but I LOVE IT ALREADY ❤
I just made the lasagna it’s divine this is my new best recipe!
Excellent job on the recipe and video. Definitely going to give this a try. Normally I have been doing eggplant instead of Lasagna noodles as I find the meal doesn't sit so heavy but after watching your video it makes me want Lasagna noodles again. Thanks for a great video.
This looks absolutely delicious!!!!!
I followed this recipe and it turned out amazing. My thirteen year old had 3 servings!
Absolutely loved the cooking video! Clear instructions and mouthwatering visuals made it a joy to follow along. Can't wait to try out the recipe myself!
Your recipes are the only ones I make without doubting their ingredients and flavor! I would like to see a recipe for a picanha barbecue (top sirloin cap), or in spanish "barbacoa de picaña"🤤
This lasagna is sooo good!! Thank you for sharing 😊
your kitchen and kitchen supplies are beautiful
I’m literally making your lasagna right now and the meat sauce is so good I’m eating it by itself 😅 thank you so much!
Your so awesome I love your mannerism. I have my husband watching you. He is a cook. He loves you as well.❤ Looks amazing. Definitely making this tonight.
This looks delicious! I usually have mozzarella in each layer. But this version looks great! I will give it a try 💜
I am making this for my Easter dinner! Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you John! I used this recipe for a dinner party tonight with some really good friends and it was delicious! 5 of us devoured the entire pan 😅
This recipe is lovely. I made this today with a cheese roux sauce since I did not have the ricotta. 10/10 ❤😊
It looks really delicious! Thank you for your beautiful cooking video presentation!
You posted this just in time--lasagna is my best friend's favorite meal and I'm going to make this for him today for his birthday 🥰
Hello, I made this today for my husband. So delicious! 👏 Bravo! Thank you.
Good looking dish!
Our families don't like the ricotta cheese. My mom substitutes cottage cheese for it, and it is okay.
My wife tried alfredo sauce... OMG is it good! It isn't a traditional "layer", but everyone loves it.
Another trick my wife found was to layer the cooked sauce/ sauces with uncooked noodles in the crock pot/ slow cooker all day... and the pasta is perfect by adjusting density of pasta with moisture content of sauce.
We just cook the meat sauce the night before with our other supper, assemble in the morning and cook on low.
Super convenient after working all day, and super good with some garlic bread and a caprese salad.
The caprese sauce/ dressing is 1/2 cup honey, 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar and 1/2 cup dried basil, boil until reduced by 1/3rd, strain. It looks like black honey - It tastes like heaven. It refrigerates for months...
Keep up the wonderful vids!
Thank you.
You can also substitute with a bechamel sauce and if you'd like add fontina, a nice melting cheese.
I'm sharing it to my brother he loves making lasagna
Dude this recipe was so good, also so simple. Thank you!!! I tweaked it a little bit due to missing ingredients, but it was great.
I made this a few months ago. Now my parents are asking me to make it for Christmas!! It was a hit!!
It looks delicious. Thank you
Wow! look great recipes. Thanks for sharing
I used your recipe. But without sausage. It was delicious. Thank you for your amazing recipe!
Try replacing the pork sausage with soy chorizo from Trader Joe’s.
I made this last night and it was delicious 🔥 I added some frozen veggies to the meat mix and some mushrooms and used the ready paste it was delicious added the Oregon too 😊
Hello John, Thanks so much for making this simple lasagna recipe, My husband Bob, was asking me to make him some Lasagna, but us living in So. Cal. the hot summers I did Not want to turn on the oven. But I am so glad I found your recipe and baked it today. I am going to share with you, this Lasagna recipe got me alot of Honey do;s favor, looking forward to. LOL!!! I ended up with the shredded Mozzarella pkg, but it still came out super duper amazing!! Thanks again.
thank you for the explanation, love it.
Thank you for making all your recipes easy to follow 🫶🏻🙂
Thank you for this wonderful recipe! I usually substitute honey for powdered sugar; it adds some complexity to your sauce ! 🙂
We make our own marinara sauce with tomatoes from our garden. Our goal is to freeze enough for the year. My husband likes to add shredded carrots to add a sweetness and texture, plus more vitamins!!
I'm sri lankan.Always love to watching your videos ❤
I love your videos so much every time I’ve made one they’ve come out so tasty and memorable
You are such a delight to watch as you make recipes very easy to follow and always work for me. Thankyou so much for your skills.
I made this the other night and it was soooo delicious
Thank you for sharing I have been looking for good lasagna recipe and now I have one I will give this a try😊
Haven't made lasagna in a long time, I'll have to get on that. I like your little food history bits. When I was teaching, I tried to add some fun facts to the demo, one of the favs was why is 13 rolls etc a baker's dozen.
I followed the recipe! Simply delicious!
I cannot cook to save my life I followed this recipe to a T and made this for my wife she absolutely loved it ❤ it was delicious
Hi John! I just made this right along with you on a very humid day here on the East coast. I don't like sausages so I did Italian chicken sausage along with the ground beef. Boy, was that a work out trying to chop that up as it cooked! I finally had to break out the food processor, lol. My meat ended up minced but I don't mind that at all. This is currently cooking and I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much! I love your videos! ❤
Let me know how it turned out! Mine is in the oven cooking right now 😮
So much garlic, i love it! 🥰 Gonna try this recipe, thanks
this was it! this is the one that convinced me to buy your cookbook! i’ll be ordering it soon!
i love all your recipes. I follow all the instructions and they came up perfect. thank you so much for making my life easier. I am hooked to your dinner rolls. I do not buy bread anymore.
Dear John, we absolutely love you - the whole family sits mesmerised watching your recipes. I need to be blunt this time. This is not the actual original lasagna recipe, and it could easily become so with a few little changes. First, the Italian herbs are not EVER going into the tomato sauce. Proper meat sauce for pasta (lasagna is pasta), is made with garlic and/or onion, carrot and celery, which are browned in olive oil, then you add the meat (beef and pork are great) and just then you add the tomato sauce with just a tiny bit of tomato paste.
Secondly, the ricotta with egg is unheard of - please use bechamel instead, you will be much happier. Parsley is not necessary, oregano is not necessary, just add a few leaves of fresh basil when the sauce is ready. We are telling you this with all the love that we can muster. If you ever come to Florence, we will be so delighted to show you around and eat with you. Ciao, buon appetito.
Watched this video this morning and made the lasagna for dinner. Just perfect and delicious. My 15 year old gave it a thumbs up and had thirds! He's as slim as a string bean.
Thank you for this recipe! I will try it! 🙏☺️☺️
Can't wait to try making your delicious looking lasagna. It seems easier than traditional recipes I've made in the past
fantastica
