100-Hour Lasagna

It's been rainy and cold lately, so I spent the week making lasagna. A better cook could probably do this faster, but I enjoy taking my time when I make food for my friends.

I don't really have a recipe since I usually cook this by feel, but here are some wonderful lasagna recipes from people who are a lot more knowledgeable in the kitchen than I am:

[@HassanAhmed-rf9xr]

@@starlsma2000 @Starlsma Wrote this as he was speaking but half way in I decided to type it then write it on my shitty old phone. Auto correct and grammar messed my hands up this bloody trash phone. Here goes everything: Friday 4 pm 7 ribs (beef), small cup of pancetta, 1 (big?) Carrot, 1 red onion (also called brown onion), 1 cucumber. Add oil a moderate amount. Then cook the vegetables separately. 1 table spoon of tomato paste. He adds in wine but im not using it (religion). Something like 2 jars of tomato sauce. Adds the ribs then puts it in the oven. I assume its low heat. Friday 8 pm. Takes it out. Gets rid of the bones in the ribs. Adds 1/4 of a chunk of cheese mozzarella or cheddar (very likely white cheddar) by grating it. Lets it cool down near the window. Ok nvm its Pecorina (romano) cheese but its your choice to pick one. Puts the pot in the fridge for 3 days. Sunday 10 am: heats small block of butter in a pot. Medium stove on full heat. Adds 3/4 of a (small bowl) bowl into the pot. 500 ml uses half so 250 ml of milk. Stir quickly whilst adding de milk. Adds nutmeg+pepper. Whisk then add 1/4 grated cheese. Lets air cool it down then puts it in the fridge. Monday 7 am: 11 eggs use only the yolk portion of it. Dont throw away the white bit. 3/4 flour of a (medium cereal bowl), bowl onto the beech wood chopping board. Spaces out using a bowl with a small bottom to spread and even out the inside (ignore the edges). Place all 11 eggs on the flour then adds sugar or salt (not specified), pops eggs then mixes eggs separately then with the flour. Proceeds to cover it all with flour the beat the sh8t.... jk he massages it into a ball. Cuts balls in half. Uses tool called pasta roller machine to thin the ball he straightened. After doing it a few times thin enough he takes it out and cuts it into rectangular shapes. Places it into a pan of hot water for maybe 1 min or less. Im guessing he uses the egg whites to brush on the pasta. Warms up both sauces (tomato and cheese). Gets tray and places in order of tomato sauce-pasta-tomato-cheese (sauce)-pasta-tomato-cheese sauce-pasta-lastly lots of cheese sauce. Wraps it then in de fridge it goes. Tueday 4pm Gets tray out then grates cheese on the lasagne (not too much). Place it in the oven. It should come out light brown.

There's a lot about the "film-making" process of this video that I hope a lot more people can appreciate. 1 - The choice of no voice over, but just the most impeccable music selection paired with really crisp ambient SFX. 2 - The timing of the subtitles is just so perfect, as well as the humorous writing of them, itself. 3 - The gorgeous cinematography, lighting, colors; the use of super tight close-ups and mediums. 4 - And to tie everything together, the magnificent editing that encapsulates everything so well. Regardless of if one actually gets to taste the food involved or not, this is truly therapeutic viewing; whether through it's near perfect runtime, that allows one just about enough to sit back and relax, or through the combination of all the above elements, making for almost cinema like viewing 'for free'! Some of the very finest that KZbin has to offer. Bravo, Alvin. :)

Alright, ive tried my best by watching the video to approximate a recipe guide for this amazing looking lasagna. I approximated ingredients amounts, but cooking times and exact temperatures are something i couldnt get from the video, so look up similar recipies for those(for the cheese sauce, look up bechamel recipies and for the finished lasagna look up lasagna recipes and use the relevant times/temps from those) Hoping i got this right, i'll definitely have to make this in the future. Meat sauce: 1 large white onion, chopped Equivilent ammount of celery and carrots, chopped Olive oil 6-7 beef spare ribs, bone in 1/2 cup of pancetta, diced 1 heaping tablespoon tomato paste Red wine, chateau fort lignac, pour around 3 seconds 2 jars tomato sauce Pecorino cheese 3/4 cup Cheese sauce: 2-3 tbs of butter 1 cup of milk 4-5 tbs of flour Pepper 1 tbsp of nutmeg 1/2 -3/4 cup of pecorino cheese Noodles: 11 eggs, whites removed 3-4 cups flour Salt Melted butter, or olive oil Cooking instructions: Brown beef spare ribs in a large pot with olive oil. Remove. In the same pot, add your pancetta and brown it. Chop one large white onion, and an equivilent ammount of chopped carrot and celery. In the same pot, saute with olive oil until softened. Add tomato paste, and stir. Deglaze with red wine, cook off the alcohol. Add jars of tomato sauce (or equivalent of homemade if desired) and spare ribs. Bake covered low and slow for a few hours, until the beef is fork-tender. Remove ribs to a separate dish. Remove the bones, and shred with a fork. Add the beef back to the sauce along with 1/2-3/4 cups of pecorino cheese. Cover and chill until needed. The next day, melt and brown the butter in a sauce pot. Add 4-5 tbs of flour and cook until it now longer smells raw (smells like cooked pie crust) Quickly whisk in milk (tip: cold milk, hot rue, no lumps) Add 3/4 cup pecorino cheese, nutmeg, and pepper. Cover and chill in the fridge until assembly. The next day, seperate the yolks and whites of 11 eggs. Pour 3 1/2 cups of flour on to a work surface, making a well in the center. Place the egg yolks in the center, lightly salting. Break the yolks wih a fork and stir gradually into the flour until you can no longer stir. From there, knead the dough until a smooth supple dough ball forms. Wrap in plastic and rest for around 30 mins to an hour. Divide the dough in half, and using either a pasta roller or a rolling pin, roll out each half of the dough thinly. (For a pasta roller, gradually roll from the thickest setting to the 2nd thinnest. For a rolling pin, roll until about 1/3rd to 1/4th of an inch). Cut into noodles appropriate for the size of pan you are using. Boil the noodles for a minute or two until they are al dente Lay them to the side and brush with olive oil. Assembly: Warm up both sauces in a low oven. Meat sauce first layer, then go noodle, meat sauce, drizzle cheese sauce until you reach the top noodle layer. Top with a thick layer of cheese sauce. Cover and chill overnight. Grate additional pecorino on top before baking, approx 1-1 1/2 cups. Garnish with parsley after baking.

@@everythingyousayiscorrect first of all the last layer has to be covered with sauce, THEN you put parmigiano on it. Second: he added parsley. That's blasphemy for us. Third: he added "raw" parmigiano (or whatever it was, actually I doubt he used the real one) after cooked. The fourth: I don't remember it but if I re-watch I can. Plus: he didn't make it properly but I can accept other "poetry licenses" he used but stll they're aren't "canon".

[@belenlg5978]

actually there is a common thought exercise among vegans about lasagna. Basically, if you are vegan and go to your grandma's and she offers a delicious vegetable lasagna but with cheese, because they didn't know that vegans dont eat milk products, would you refuse or eat it? many pragmatic vegans think it is best to eat it, because grandma made the effort even it is not perfectly vegan

[@rachnamarshall3907]

Veganism isn’t about just eating something because someone made it for you. It’s an animal rights act, not eating anything from animals because we care for them. Also, vegans would get sick eating dairy again... especially if it’s something that already made them sick. It’s fair if someone doesn’t want to eat something that came from inside an animal.

Agreed, you made a very nice ragu that would have been brilliant on its own or served with papadella. BTW I roll my pasta thinner and don't pre cook it, it cooks just fine in the sauce. Also I like to have thinner layers of the ragu as my pasta is thinner and have more layers, It gives it a lighter texture. Just personal pref, yours looks excellent.
