Al Brown's Lasagna

"This was the first meal I cooked and served to company about 25 years ago. I got the recipe originally from Better Homes & Gardens in 1978 from an article about men who cook. This lasagna intrigued me since it was the first time I had thought about lasagna without a tomato based sauce. This freezes well. I have used both white and orange colored cheddar for this. I don't remember who Al Brown was but thanks Al Brown, where ever you are!"

  1. I am so psyched to have re-found this recipe. Best lasagne we've ever had. The recipe was printed in the New York Times as Al Brown's White Lasagne. That was ages ago. Probably 40 years anyway. I made it once a year for years (it's very rich, not an everyday lasagne). But then one day, the recipe was Gone from my recipe book!! Krikey!! Well, I scoured the internet periodically, scoured the NYT site. No luck. Then, one day, there it was in Food.com! Woo-Hoo!! Hope you like it too.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I love food and cooking and find that I all too often don't have as much time to spend in the kitchen as I'd like. I long for a new updated kitchen with a functional pantry that will allow me to actually spend productive time in the kitchen rather than spend it forever rooting around in cupboards to find some lost important ingredient. I love to surf the 'net to look for new recipes and food ideas and lunch hours at my day job (crop diagnostician) are often used for just that. Other than kitchen stuff my hobbies are gardening, quilting and reading.
