Molly and Andy Learn to Make Lasagna: Part Two

Finally! The part 2 you've all been asking for !!!!!
Again, the brainchild of a collab with Andy Baraghani, this is about as un-Italian as a lasagna can get. Really, it eats more like a potato gratin, that just so happens to have some lasagne noodles layered throughout. Oh, and don’t forget the slices of mortadella that are stacked throughout it and then piled on top and baked until crispy crunchy and fatty. An herb lovers (Andy) and morty-d lovers (me) dream dinner awaits.

[@favoritenemy]

I laughed so hard when Andy whispered to Molly I'm dead hahaha I love and miss this energy

[@sidkoul]

So wholesome. This is what it looks like when two best buds come together and riff in the kitchen after years apart. Two thumbs up!

[@cadbury3ll473]

it is SO GOOD to see you two together on KZbin again

[@UNxZero]

looking forward to another collab. Cant wait for the next experiment you guys make.

[@elizabethann9152]

I like your energies together. Collaboration is hard. You two have totally different resting heartrates, I'm sure. And it was an honest chronicle of how your enthusiasm for a project can rise and fall as you go. In developing the recipe of two chefs in the kitchen that day, it's a multi-layered and lively success. Very fun.

[@jyuen]

This energy what i want to embody in the year of 2024.

[@aseguradojaicel]

The fresh pasta would have worked probably if you did not boil it and just baked it as it is. Either way, the mortadella was genius! I wanna try this but with pastrami!

[@billbennington4444]

yeah major amateur hour...then the gall to blame the pasta and say it was made poorly. jeeze louise guys, it was your fault the whole time

[@Ga0966]

Yeah I don’t even need to par boil the dried pasta if you have it saucey enough

[@PeaceRose96]

i was thinking that too! Definitely don't need to boil fresh lasagna sheets, their intended to be ready to cook! haha

[@kriskellett]

I loved this bonapp reunion! So happy and giggly! Please do it again!

[@felixpaquet7334]

NOSTALGIA the house down!!!!!!!! F**K I love seeing you two back in the kitchen 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@arkeon_6321]

This is that old school energy and vibe we loved from before. Thx for this. More collabs.

[@mgranahan]

3 things: 1- the color scheme of the lasagna? Love, like retro 60s 70s pink mint and cream just yes. 2- More Andy 3- It was fun to see you guys kinda f it up but still keep going, also just makes me want to get weird and design my own lasagna but following (some) guidelines. Really enjoyed the videos!

[@asojunk]

I feel like a chopped roasted pistachio on top would be fabuuuuu

[@molly2553]

Ooo I agree! Some kind of crunchy texture situation 😋

[@unit--ns8jh]

It's insane how little salt Molly puts on the potato layers 😋

[@m2svirtual384]

It's easily been an hour since I watched, and I'm still smiling. I had no idea how much I had missed this... 😍

[@Pammellam]

Yes, those potatoes needed more cooking. They should have been parboiled. A potato gratin would need an hour maybe?? But such a lovely spring dish!

[@peachland5000]

Loved this missed watching you two cook together!

[@arasharfa]

this looked deliciousssssss and you two are so fun together. Everyone seems to have a good time around Molly.

[@CavemanSynthesizer]

I don't think you're supposed to boil fresh lasagna. It seems like it would cook in the baking process. I might be wrong.

[@kimesser2318]

I was thinking the same thing. I would not have pre cooked fresh pasta

[@EduardoCachucho]

absolutely, you cannot put fresh sheet pasta in a rolling boil it will fall apart. For a Lasagna it would not need pre-cooking.

[@stefaniehudspeth1336]

I totally agree, if it was the hard sheets from the package then you'd boil it although I make mine with raw pasta sheets, not preboiled ones and the pasta has a more of a bite to it. Just a personal preference!

[@000euMJ]

It shouldn't fall apart like it did though. It was bad pasta anyway.

[@CavemanSynthesizer]

@@EduardoCachuchoMaybe if it had been more of a simmer it would have worked better?

[@thelewismiles]

This looks so delicious!!

[@sanabakkoush]

ugh the green is so gorgeous. love.

[@megpowers5676]

The squeal and hug at the end 🥰🥰 so cute!

[@sallieannwestbrook9769]

Miss you guys together

[@curtisdawg]

Collab too long in the making. Love it!!! Hope to see more from this duo.

[@Brandon-ro5fd]

Tell Brad to collab with you guys for a reunion special

[@MxWrnr]

Why cook the fresh pasta at all? the time in the oven would probably be enough to cook it through. I don't even pre-cook my dry pasta and have never had a problem.

[@berarre]

This was fun to watch

[@ertgreen]

This is delightful

[@caraeuler2927]

It was a joy to watch you two collaborate. I hope for more.

[@Atushon]

oh ~this~ was the energy i missed from the test kitchen after that .. whole thing...

[@Instapam]

The fresh pasta ‘problem’, was that 1) with the amount of cream & how thin the cream was, it really didn’t needed cooking before hand, 2) if the goal was cooking the pasta, please, one at the time! Or leave the pasta to air dry a bit more, so the consistency is not a fresh as it was, and it could handled the boiling in a bundle & the tongs! The rest of it? Thats the type of caos I love to see in the kitchen, have missed the two of you together! Loved seeing a bit of how to create a new recipe, and that green sauce? Definitely going on rotation, since i’m lasagna kind girl year round! ✨ Thanks guys for the awesome video!❤

[@logtothebase2]

Maybee blanch the sliced potatoes for 5 min first?

[@funkychilldude]

crazy enough that it might work

[@haanimely981]

loved this collab!

[@HspncAt7heDisco]

Molly has been on KZbin this whole time??? Instant subscribe

[@authorryankurr]

I absolutely LOVE this!!

[@gesarenyandusi5517]

This is so wonderfully chaotic and seeing you guys cook together again aaahhhh!

[@monikarulak8912]

but why would you actually pre cook fresh lasagna sheets? thats why they fell apart

[@fanshent]

So fun! I make lasagna with fresh pasta all the time, but do not cook it first, maybe that would work best with this also?

[@pamelakelleyelend3771]

That was a wonderfully chaotic romp!

[@nanikaitte]

Awwwww love youuuuuu both so much!

[@devron86]

I love both of you... So this is my favorite.

[@janeybakarbessy2330]

It looks so good and it probably tastes so good. But all I wanna do is clean up that oven!

[@danielchak2]

Now I need Carla in here too

[@enammm]

How am I now finding this, I miss Andy so much

[@nicolejeanleonard-shiu2955]

Did I make this with irrational confidence before part 2 came out: yes Did I over-whip the cream into basically whipped cream/butter: yes Did I know immediately I f'd up: yes BUT was I in denial and proceeded frantically with assembly: yes Did it still come out SO GOOD: HECK YES

[@Giaisveryawesome]

so excited to see them back together i love them

[@HunderbarDachs]

I knew those potatoes needed precooking! Where is Molly's apron from?

[@neonbenthic]

Thanks for all the laughs 😂

[@queenmini372]

You guys are hilarious 😂 ❤

[@ProfessorWFS]

W duo

[@jmgmesquita]

Amor!

[@gtan30]

More episodes with Andy please!! Missed seeing you both in one screen.

[@ninabina130]

TTUUUNNNAAAAAA!!!!❤❤

[@davidhall75]

Gurl that ain't nothing but a casserole.

[@fromnaras]

can we get an architecture digest style home tour? 😂

[@vidma7229]

Any vegetarian sub options for mortadella?

[@SpacePimp1980]

I want to see Molly's mortadella mountain's😂

[@tiffanyi5645]

This was bad ass, I was skeptical-I still am low key but super intrigued! lol

[@joanavanessagarcia6862]

Does anyone thought that maybe that pasta was not to be boil before assembling? tThere are some pasta sheets for lasagna that does not need pre-boil? just asking

[@ldro26]

Molly and Andy. together again!!!! Can we make it a series?

[@sweeteragain]

That lasagna was seducing Andy ahahahaahahha

[@btbesquire5]

the sibling energy is strong and wonderful

[@rorybenson1]

im in to this for flavor combo, but i never cook my pasta first with a lasagna. dry or fresh

[@Daniela-ny3pu]

I fucken missed this

[@quintweets]

The syncronized "no" 8:46 though

[@M8gna]

and without calling attention to it which shows the level of their friendship.

[@sabrinhussein3586]

I feel like you didn't have to throw away all that pasta. Defo could have done sth with that because what a massive waste

[@tron949]

Don't you put fresh pasta into lasagna without par boiling it?

[@BWen3]

Next time just get Barilla and call it a day. 😅

[@alinakhachatourian328]

The pasta fell apart because it was not worked enough. You could tell even from the ingredients shot, it was way too rough. YOu have to work it, rest it, then run it through the machine or by hand several times folding and rerolling.

[@user-vj1it1cp6y]

I love you, Molly and Andy. I’ve fans of you both for a while, since the BA times. Did you actually enjoy this dish? I don’t think I would like it.

[@robinjanice3575]

A little empathy for the poor soul who effed up making the pasta.

[@erosamuk]

wonderful chemistry between the two master chefs. always nice to see Andy, too, but was hoping for one of his famous butt crack shots. did i miss something?

[@kurtjohnson4816]

Fun project, love their chemistry! But I really don't get the potatoes. I'm thinking spinach and leeks. And prosciutto instead of mortadella. Or you could make it with just potatoes and no noodles.

[@carlosm.4960]

FINALLY

[@Gastroboi]

i miss seeing these two sharing the screen

[@ssenssel]

Man, those two should do a show together.

[@blaXkgh0st]

Fuck Yah! The perfect duo is back 🖤

[@renekeystone5571]

Andy needs to move in! This series is going places.

[@nuclearbananas3]

what kind of fontina?

[@billbennington4444]

the fontina kind of fontina

[@blubell24]

why woudn't they just let the pasta cook in the oven with the lasagne

[@vrynnie]

I know this is gonna sound whiny and annoying but when i saw the broken pasta being thrown away i cringed because i wouldve made something out of it. Thats just me hating wasted food tho. Anything i burn i still eat because ya girl just cant afford to throw em away

[@10weeklythings]

It's spumoni lasagana!

[@wyattwelch3517]

I feel like I'm in the kitch but like...not and that makes me a lil sad. So what time should I be over?

[@Timanator]

I was really hoping this channel turns in to a pro showing us the way, and not so much a reminder of failure like my own cooking lol.

[@christianhansen3292]

her schnoz should of smelt something was wrong

[@mjkeeler]

Was the noodle snafu possibly gluten free pasta??

[@Junior25760]

Never had a double carb lasagna with mortadella

[@TBD491]

is there any B roll of andy in the pool?

[@charliestevenson3500]

Call it Bazagna, Andy won’t mind.

[@reneealicia]

why did andy oil the foil?

[@JFC_Jesus_F_Christ]

so the cheese on top of the "lasagna" wouldn't stick to the foil.

[@wb6360]

May I suggest a scrap bowl to throw the pasta and herb ends be thrown into and then composted? I hate seeing food thrown out, even wonky noodles!

[@bw2082]

Helen Keller could have seen that the fresh pasta was crappy from a mile away😂

[@hastinarimanzadeh6589]

Andy's face at 7:16 deserves more attention XD

[@japassarelli]

The heavy cream is the only thing that kills the whole vibe for me!

[@IndianaJesus84]

Don't like flavor?

[@japassarelli]

It makes dishes unnecessarily heavy and it overwhelms other flavors. I'm not a traditionalist or anything like that. There are other ways to make a dish creamy without making them so heavy. I wouldn't mind if it it was a winter, a heavier or a quick student dish and it had less. I don't doubt it tastes good but that's what I think. Seems a little bit lazy and unnecesary. @@IndianaJesus84

[@IndianaJesus84]

@@japassarelli fair enough! I'm the opposite. I can't think of one time in my life where there was heavy cream in a dish and I regretted it.

[@japassarelli]

It's all about enjoying what one likes! Life is too short!@@IndianaJesus84

[@MeredithWhitfield]

ok mortadella mountains

[@laurenammer3376]

Do you compost your food scraps/leftovers?

[@emberchord]

I love their energy together

[@robertarcilla1118]

my goats

[@mjkeeler]

I would parboil the potatoes …

[@jimdotcom1972]

this was very cute, but it should have been one video.

[@Blaizeria]

Why call the pasta noodles? They are pasta sheets surely?

[@CharlieNagoo]

Pre-cook the potatoes, not the fresh pasta. Seemed kind of obvious . . . .
