Questions & Replies

  1. Can you substitute ricotta for cottage cheese?
     
  2. can I substitute tomato sauce for paste?
     
  3. I want to make this recipe for Christmas Eve dinner & will have to make about 3 batches to serve 20 people. Can I make it a day ahead & keep it in the fridge til it’s time to cook? And if so what adjustments do I need to make to cooking time or temp?
     
  4. This is my favorite lasagna and I want to make this for an office food day, but I do not have access to an oven to keep it hot. What adjustments, if any would need to be made to cook it in a slow cooker/crock pot?

  1. This is my new favorite lasagna recipe! More meaty and just the right amount of cheesy and less expensive! I accidentally bought the no boil noodles and was worried because when I put it together it was so pretty and a good thick consistency (cuttable looking!). The no boil noodles say to add 1 cup of water to the dish. I added only 1/2 a cup and it came out perfect! About 40 min. on 350 and the noodles were great. I followed pioneer woman's show menu and made the cheesy bread and fried pies. It was a great dinner!!!
     
  2. I have made this recipe from Pioneer Woman's website and it is great. The recipe that is posted here does not include the 1 lb of mozzarella slices in the ingredients, so watch for that.
     
  3. I am making this lasagna as my very first lasagna ever. It looks very good. Can't wait to dig in. I love ree and want to cook everything she makes. Wish me luck
     
  4. Very yummy! I had ricotta that I HAD to use so I put a bit of milk into my cheese to make it wetter.
     
  5. I have made better, wasn't the best I've had. Added fresh basil on top to give it more flavor,

<p>I'm a WAHM of 2. I paint and sell my original shabby and primitive signs in my online stores called the Shabby Sign Shoppe. Keeps me busy and helps keep the roof over our heads, but takes away from two favorite pastimes--cooking and working in the yard.</p> <p>To be in the kitchen uninterrupted is my form of relaxation and I try to get in there and cook at least 2-3 good meals a week. I'm trying to get healthier with cooking, but it is so hard with all these amazing Food.com recipes shouting Make Me, Make Me. I discovered Recipezaar in 2002. I tell EVERYONE about it and it's definately my go-to recipe site. Other sites pale in comparison.</p> <p>Whenever I search for a recipe, Recipezaar never lets me down. I typically ONLY try 5 star recipes, but sometimes will try unrated ones if I am feeling frisky and the recipe is from a chef I'm familar with. Kittencal, MizzNezz and Wildflour are 3 of my favorites.</p> <p>Diehard foodies tend to annoy. I should know because I used to be one! Culinary school will do that to you, but it's just not living in the real world.</p>
