How To Make Don Angie's Famous Pinwheel Lasagna (Lasagna for 2)

[@lindalove7193]

Update: I made this for dinner last night and it was off the charts! Surprisingly light and flavorful. You are so right that you must prep everything the night or two before the event because everything will be nice and solidified and so much easier to assemble. I didn't because I had an event in the house and the kitchen was in use, so I tried yesterday afternoon and the only thing that got chilled was the bechamel sauce, but everything else was ready to go as a regular lasagna. The Bolognese and Wednesday Night sauces, and cheeses helped me stack a regular lasagna. It was getting late, so I had to wrap shit up so we wouldn't be eating dinner too late. It was the best lasagna I've ever made. The pinwheels can wait until I have a dinner party. The shape is for presentation, the meal is what mattered. OMG!

[@AlbertoMontesSoto]

the bechamel with the 2 cups of milk resulting in a gloopy thick one is actually the cut down version of the bulk for restaurant recipe, cause you then scoop a cup of the thick bechamel, you warm it up with a cup of regular milk or heavy cream, and you don't have to make the bechamel base infusion for every plate. great recipe still watching. :)

[@Natetan]

I get it but the issue then becomes straining the aromatics. He had a hard enough time with 3 cups, I couldn't imagine 2.

[@InkdBaker]

Well to be fair not every restaurant makes their sauces the same way. I've worked at a few that had bases but didn't make them like that at all. If you were infusing for a base and using it in a restaurant youd have a chinois in a cambro gallon container. An easier method is just steeping in the cream itself.

[@void.reality]

@@Natetan The traditional way of adding aromatics to a bechamel is to infuse them into the milk by boiling, then strain, then add the milk to the roux. That way you don't need to push the bechamel through a strainer. This method seems overly complicated and messy.

[@Natetan]

@@void.reality Good point.

[@m4rtinbugar]

@@void.reality thank you. Didnt realized that. I like this idea

[@torokun]

It absolutely makes huge difference when you ice bath the pasta. It makes it more chewy texture. Not mushy.

[@America2gether]

Excellent notation that this bechamel is "chefy". Thank you for educating us. It looks "doable" that can be easily stored for easy heat up in the future.

[@msr1116]

Those oval gratin dishes are available in restaurant supply stores and perfect for one very generous serving or two controlled portions. I used to make various pasta dishes just for me and then brown them on top in the toaster oven for a couple minutes. Sometimes we just want lasagne, manicotti, etc. for one meal only.

[@rhondaaudiss1197]

Looks DELICIOUS! So I made this for Sunday Dinner, it turned out great and very YUMMY 😋

[@conduit242]

My grandmother made pinwheel lasagna for 50 years. She preferred infused bechamel and thin fried garlic mushrooms

[@grrelyea]

I made this last week and it was out of the park good! However, I had to make it vegetarian, which didn't prove to hard to do. I simply left the meat out of the bolognese and cut the milk and tomatoes by half to counter for half the solids that were missing. The flavor and texture were still amazing. I've made both this and your other bolognese sauce before with meat and I couldn't tell the difference. Thanks for a great recipe and for being a great teacher.

[@VideoRiverPlum]

Can't be any harder than getting a reservation at Dorsia

[@jesuriv1]

I love the crispy part of the Lasagna, I didn't know there was a recipe to maximize crispiness.

[@1961-v9k]

Me too, I always love the well cooked edges 😋

[@IVIRnathanreilly]

You could just make it like regular then cool it, slice it and reheat it separated so you get all sides crisp

[@jacobhafemeister8205]

Just tried to go there when I was in NY two weeks ago. Getting a reservation is like winning the lottery. Only take them 7 days out and they publish 9am so you better be quick. We needed a reservation for 6 which probably didn’t help. Went to Da Andrea down the street instead which was still great

[@virionspiral]

You should have tried to get a reservation at Dorsia.

[@roberttaylor9259]

Yeah I'm gonna sub that anise out for fennel in the mirepoix. It just seems more appropiate imo

[@berarpaul]

i just wanna say a big thank you from the bottom of my heart , i hope you re a cook in heaven

[@ShameinAnaheim]

Just a thought...try putting spreading the meat out on a sheet pan under the broiler. Get it nice and crispy. Keep up the great videos!

[@dreamreader42]

Finally started on this recipe tonight after watching this video for months! Making a vegetarian version so substituted the meat for finely chopped aubergines and mushroom, which I browned nicely, plus all the other veggies. Beschemel and veg bolognaise is now done and resting in the fridge. Tomorrow is going to be epiccc! 💫

[@geoplaten337]

This video is incredibly. The amount of work and love, wow, that’s great stuff.

[@ellebannana]

I am so obsessed with this channel. It's just pure comfort. I want to make alllll the pastas

[@gaukaiser]

Really love making these...always make 2 rolls for dinner and 6-8 more to freeze them....perfect for a quick mid week meal

[@TheStallion234]

I feel like you had 150k subs and I blinked and you're closing in on a million. Congrats man

[@aram5642]

A lot of work. That is exactly why I visit restaurants for some specific types of food. Lasagna being one of them.

[@supsanddups754]

Starting the process for this tonight. Can't do the pasta but I'm doing everything else. Love this recipe

[@m.p.6039]

Love your Bolognese sauce, thank you very much! You're right, the anise star does make a difference.

[@lavieenrose5954]

Hope it turned out beautifully..

[@dinomonaco2665]

One of your more technically advanced recipes. Brilliant!

[@nateb2715]

My wife has been making a version of this for 15 years(obviously not as chefy). You can buy store bought noodles and boil them until pliable, and roll with ricotta(with pesto or spinach mixed in), mozz and italian sausage. Throw the roll ups into a dish and cover with sauce and cheese. Its a recipe that has been around for a long time

[@AddisonChapman-m3z]

One of your more technically advanced recipes. Brilliant!. Looks so good that I just ordered the cookbook!.

[@97snowjunkies]

I love that you stick to your wheel house, I feel like I'm learning so much from you because you take great care in all the details. I feel like I'm learning authentic Italian, and not just the next trendy recipe!

[@dianes4858]

I just love your show. Everything always looks so delicious! Great instructions too. Thanks!

[@nemo5335]

BTW the Bolognese (or really, all bolognese) can be done in a pressure cooker in a fraction of the time, and I think it actually makes a better sauce. This is one of my favorite things to do with a pressure cooker.

[@rbu2136]

Yes! Ding ding ding ding. You don’t get to eyeball each stage and tweak as you go but my goodness sooooo much faster and simpler.

[@Auntie_Trev]

I am in the UK 🇬🇧 and just bought Italian American cook book on eBay. I can't wait to give it a try 😊

[@seanpgrimm]

No joke, Don Angie is my wife and I’s favorite restaurant in the world. The lasagna is truly insane. Will have to try this!

[@jwm4ever]

Thanks for sharing that. I'll definitely go out of my way to make this

[@MrFoxeos]

Interestingly enough, there's a Brazilian dish - which I had no idea was Brazilian until a few minutes ago - called Rondelli which is basically the same concept. Get some pasta sheets, add toppings (ricotta, bacon, ham, ragu) and roll it. The crunchy bits are definitely the best :P I've never seen the double layer method though, I'm going to give that a try. Cheers

[@DanielCosta1969]

Yeah, definitely reminded me of rondelli! Italian-Brazilian like sardella and polpetone. :)

[@xbronzepkx]

I think its easier to infuse the bayleave, thyme & red onion in the cream and then sifting these ingredients out, then make the bechamel? instead of sifting the bechamel. But anyways great recipe!

[@roberttaylor9259]

This one knows what's up

[@garnetmk]

How would you do this? I think this might be a dumb question as I just figured it out but still answer just to be safe please.

[@roberttaylor9259]

@@garnetmk low temperature milk/ cream steep those ingredients like a tea let them come to simmer and turn off heat and let the mixture cool slightly and strain. Use that mixture to make bechamel. Or you can tie all that stuff up in cheese cloth and do it. Don't use a red onion though because the color will leach into the milk and it'll be ugly. like milky pepto

[@garnetmk]

@@roberttaylor9259 Thanks, I’ll definitely use this technique. Not just with this dish but other dishes as well

[@huntermoka]

@@garnetmk when making a bechamel you either add cold milk to a hot roux or hot milk to a cold roux, either works here. I added the flour and butter, cooked the roux for a few mins, then let it cool. Added all the other ingredients in a new pan, simmered gently for about 20m to infuse, strained into the pan eith the roux, and cooked while whisking over medium heat

[@jmbear628]

very nice. adding mushrooms to sauce might be nice too

[@xxvenom]

Looks crazyyy good. I would throw just a little parm over the top during the final bake. But dude thanks for the videos and this thing is crazy awesome looking.

No doubt you're a good cook and it's one of your passions. It would be nice if you could once in a while make a couple of videos of what, why, and when you eat during a day. As you point out in the Sunday supper video that it's about more than the food. It's the story and getting to participate or be involved as much as possible in it.

Traditionalist Italians are freaking out but this looks legit ! Ultimate comfort dish Cheers from San Diego California

[@randommcranderson5155]

someone should tell those traditionalists that tomatoes come from america, and if they want authentic italian food they need to stop using it :P

Signor Locatelli, you have a very famous Italian surname (you will surely be one of ours), but don't worry that even in Italy we have versions of Lasagna like that and so we don't are freaking out. 😉

[@pcb462]

Pecorino Romano works wonderful in lasagna.

[@KenHollowayshow]

Thank you. This is a great video and I learned a lot. I'm looking forward to checking out your recipe because if I'm going to make the pasta from scratch, I want to get it right. I always weigh my flour instead of the cup method. Interesting observations about the star anise. I love pepperoni and I was shocked to discover that it has that flavor profile, and similar to tarragon, which I love in a bearnaise sauce. Otherwise, I'm with you and don't care for it. For example, I've never liked black liquorish. So here is the ultimate split test (please weigh in on this readers). Lasagna with the bechamel, versus lasagna with ricotta blend, versus a lasagna with both??? Last, why is it that the traditional recipe calls for veal, and wouldn't beef be okay instead?

With recipes like lasagna I always make huge portions cause it requires a lot of work either way so might as well make 20 portions to get the most out of the time spent preparing it. I never got the point to making small portions unless you are running a restaurant or something so you need individual portions for single meals.
