Lasagna day 2024

[Culinary Otter]

A good friend of mine lost his wife a few years ago. They used to own an Italian restaurant in town. He was never allowed to go in the kitchen and was always the handyman.

A while back he asked me to help recreate his wife's lasagna recipe, and we've made an event of it ever since.

Fast forward to today he now has a delightful girlfriend and we make lasagna in bulk.

We a good Lasagna.
Those look good enough to eat, nice work.

That, my friend, is an incredible story, and I will follow. So nice.

I won't post it publicly but if anyone wants the recipe I'll absolutely DM it. This is hands down the best lasagna I've ever had.

Shallow fry the left overs the next day and it's even better.

Torched and resting.

Have a nice Roja to accompany. Nothing is better than good food with good friends.

He also went to Italy as an homage a year or two ago and learned how to make tiramisu, so he brought this over for dessert:

Got me all excited C.O.! I'm loving the lasagna with bechamel.

Roija? Made with Tempranillo grapes (cousin to Sangiovese grapes)? If so, really good wine...and underrated for sure.

Lol yes. Appreciate the correction. We may have opened a few bottles before I posted this

Thanks!

I'm not classically trained whatsoever. However after going down the rabbit hole of mother sauces, wow do I love bechamel. A good croque madame is just... The best sandwich ever.

Wow...haven't had one of those sandwiches in a while! I need to change that.

Looks amazing! If I want decent lasagna I have to go to a local restaurant. Our results at home are worse than frozen. LoL
