Great meal for the family
I'm loving the texture of the sourdough. I can see the layers from the stretch and folds.

Great all home cooked meal there Rich.
And that is how the top should be , nice and golden cheese.

I can eat most lasagnas, but if im making it for me it is Mozza for all cheese, but that is me.

great meal, and hope you all had a great Christmas.

PS: love the egg idea

THE BEST LASAGNA THESE EYES HAVE EVER SEEN!

I'll take that . Lol . Thanks bud .

WHAT THICKNESS DO YOU GO TO ON THE SHEETS OF PASTA, LOOKS PERFECT, AROUND #4?

Ray , I normally go to 6 on this , but this was at a 5 . Cooked from raw in the dish really makes the pasta swell up .

Great lookin meal

Thanks for lookin ' .

Amazing looking meal Rich! Congrats on the ride too!

Thanks Steve . Appreciate that .

WOW! Homemade pasta!

Well yeah ,,,

A little fresh grated parm and some starchy pasta water .
So good .

Pesto in lasagna is new to me. At the suggestion of a coworker I tried making lasagna with sausage instead of GB and OMG absolutely no other way.

The pesto started with Ryan making a baked pasta dish . He wanted to use the same ingredients , but use them in a lasagna . Each on it's own layer .
It was a layer of pesto , a layer of bechamel , then beef and italian sausage with homemade sauce . Small amounts of mots .
Really good , but he doesn't add the egg , so it stays flat .

That is basically the true original Alfredo sauce without the butter.
The Americanized version adds the heavy cream, I grew up eating the org version, it's my favorite by far.
