Mastering the Art of Homemade Lasagna with Everyday Ingredients

Never saw the trick of the onion with the leaves and the cloves in the milk, loved it! And thank you thank you thank you for including the exact quantities in the recipe

It’s a pleasure. The onion pique is a great infuser

[@mastroitek]

@@ChefJackOvens I think you did an amazing job with this lasagne, the only thing I would consider is to warm up the tomato sauce before adding it to the meat simply to check for acidity, most canned tomato sauces have some degree of acidity, in that case it would be suggested to add a bit of salt and sugar to balance it out.

[@foxxxooo]

I just made lasagna for the first time in my life and followed this recipe. It's in the oven right now, hopefully it turns out well!

[@phillyguy8541]

With all the time cutting and simple lasagna recipes our there today it's nice to see someone make a good old fashioned traditional lasagna. It looks great!😀

[@ChefJackOvens]

Can’t go wrong with a traditional recipe

[@GregCurtin45]

Thank you Chef. I love playing with the bechamel sauce by adding several different cheeses, spinach, cayenne pepper and ricotta. I've never made/used an onion pique before but will definitely try it next time. There is nothing worse than a bland bechamel sauce. Thank you for the time put into creating, filming, editing and posting the video for all of us.

[@ChefJackOvens]

It’s a pleasure! Thank you for watching. You’re not wrong about the bechamel

[@annstewart8506]

Omg! Another one of my favourites. Ty Jack for sharing . I now have idea for dinner tonight.

[@ChefJackOvens]

[@hermansen123]

Once again, a great video that is pretty much the exact reason why I really enjoy your channel. Easy to do delish dishes you can do after work without using 4 different pans, taste great and doesn't cost a fortune, is healthy, and looks very pleasing and something you look forward to eat. As a former alcoholic, I also really appreciate you finding alternatives to fx wine, since that's a huge no no for me and alot of other people in the world, who are trying to change their lifestyle for the healther and better. :) Looking forward to the next video!

Glad you are revisiting old recipes, to improve them! Also with such improved video editing and filming it is such a pleasure to watch! Small question, why you are not grating vegetables like in old recipe? And what is size of your baking dish?

[@ChefJackOvens]

Always trying to improve in every way. Glad you’re noticing the difference. It’s great to hear. The size is roughly 35cm by 20cm

Hi Chef Jack! First time watching your videos. I love your style. I like that you give an explanation as you go as to why youre doing something, and the alternative option. Otherwise, im forever experimenting (unsuccessfully) as i wonder what if i change this what will happen. But its so nice yo be taught, as i don't have time or energy to experiment. With your explanations im not left wondering. Thank you

Hi Jack I love all your recipes as they are concise and easy to follow. Do you have a cookbook or are you considering doing one. It would be well received I am sure. Many thanks.

[@AXVVX]

is there a red wine you prefer using for this recipe? Ive never used wine before but would love to try it your way! (:

[@TheSpacekrieger]

i usually brown the beef in the pan (i shape them into patties for this) before adding the vegetables to it so that they absorb the flavour from the fond in the pan. then i add the browned beef in later and i feel like that gives off really good flavour to the veggies as well 😀

[@ChefJackOvens]

The sofrito is always traditionally cooked first to create flavour development within the vegetable. Add them after the meat won’t ever achieve the same flavour. In saying that everyone makes things differently and that’s what makes cooking so good.

[@tag21au]

Chef where did you get your portable gas burner, I've been looking for one?

[@ChefJackOvens]

I have a link for it on my website in the tools and equipment section

[@tag21au]

Thank you ! I can finally stop looking

[@petertyrrell3391]

Isn't it necessary to add some brodo (stock) to be absorbed by the pasta? This would make the pasta expand or puff out a bit, and keep the whole dish from being too dry.

[@ChefJackOvens]

No need the pasta is fresh and rehydrates in the sauce. The stock is in the Ragu

[@petertyrrell3391]

@@ChefJackOvens brodo if using dry which has not been pre-cooked?

You will need to pre boil it before assembling

[@petertyrrell3391]

@@ChefJackOvens Thanks, but no brodo necessary with pre-boiled dry? The reason for my original question was that when I lived in Italy, the Italians I knew always added some brodo to be absorbed by the pasta.

[@misslouise7584]

The bechamel I made was too liquid. I used bread flour, is that why?

[@jakewarren5684]

That's a mirepoix. Sofrito has red bell pepper instead of carrot. Also bechamel is very thick. Why no fennel seed in the bolognese? I bet it tastes pretty good though.

[@ChefJackOvens]

I chose not to add pepper. You’re right it’s also a mirepoix and it’s also a sofrito. Bechamel is supposed to be thick in this case. This isn’t bolognese it’s a Ragu.

[@neilpickup237]

There are two spellings - sofrito (Spanish) and soffritto (Italian). I think that most people do not realise that and use the two spellings interchangeably. While Sofrito may have tomatoes and peppers, Soffritto doesn't. Then we come to the French version of Soffrito, Mirepoix, which, unlike Soffritto, is cooked in butter rather than olive oil or butter. I am not sure and stand to be corrected, but I am guessing that butter is more Northern Italian, and olive oil is Southern.

[@JarrodBrowne100]

Hey Jack, I recently got the same pots and pans as you. I have been following your recipes and doing some other cooking and I often end up with a black pan from burning. Making it really hard to clean. This usually happens with anything marinated. Any tips? I must be doing something wrong. Thank you!!!
