Obviously not a traditional lasagne but some nice twists. I was taught in an Italian family. I noticed when you layered the pasta, you placed the layers all the same direction. To stabilize the filling, I was taught to alternate with vertical and horizontal pasta layers to create a tight weave, so it doesn’t slide apart. I don’t use tomato paste. It adds acid. Leaving it out nullifies the need for sugar. A hearty well balanced sauce should simmer a minimum 3 hours. There’s no acid and the tomatoes become naturally sweet. I like your passion for flavors and techniques. Thanks for sharing.

A little sugar gives it a great balance of flavors

When I saw tomato sauce, I decided to use good store bought spaghetti sauce instead. I always add a little bit of brown sugar when I make spaghetti sauce.

Man there was not a bite left when I made this for the kids. Taste is amazing
Growing up and learning to cook Italian food in an Italian neighborhood included how to enhance the flavor of store bought ricotta cheese. We always added Parm or Romano or both , herbs and an egg. Your addition is a great idea to enhance flavor. I’m a lover of that variety of Boursin cheese. Homemade pasta is best and you don’t have to cut it into strips. Just cut it to fit the pan. Meatballs sausage salad & garlic bread make the best meal.

Yea I'm wondering why do people cut into strips and not to fit the pan when making noodles from scratch.

Hi, I am a traditional black woman and this would be my first time making Lasagna and watching you and the ingredients that you put in it looks wonderful, I asked my husband what he thinks and because he is a meat eater, he asked me too add just a little more meat ☺I have tried some of your recipes and it has never let me down, so thank you it is so nice to see a man cooking the way you do with so much passion. Keep up the good work.

What is a “traditional” black woman, and why did you even mention that?

She did say it would be her first time making lasagna….hence her statement of ‘traditional black woman’. I think it was just her reinforcing her compliment to the chef.
This lasagna was an absolute hit. I was asked to make lasagna again based on my previous recipe and I made this instead. Everyone said this is the best I have ever made so I will continue with this.
I followed this recipe almost to the T. It was the best lasagna I've ever had. I'm never buying Stouffers or lasagna out anymore! I used the no boil pasta from Whole Foods. It was bussin 😋
This lasagna is sooo good! My boyfriend said it's better than any restaurant's. Thank you for the recipe! We've been eating it for 2 days and I'll gladly eat the leftovers for 2 more days 😂😂
My daughter made this for me on Mother’s Day! It was delicious! ❤❤

Looks Delicious! Gonna definitely make this recipe for my family this weekend. Will give an update on how it turned out. Update: made this lasagna. My family loved it. It was a hit. 👍
I love when he drops the fork ❤
When I learned Italians use béchamel…. I NEVER used ricotta again 😂😂😂😂 just make béchamel… it’s easy and it’s the bomb

You know that’s true I’ve had it in restaurants and it was bechamel no ricotta I will remember that
Dude one of the best who agrees ?
💥💥💥💥💥💯 A Lasagna is such a flexible dish. Have fun with your meats, cheeses & veggies…seasonings as well. I love making a ‘Pizza Lasagna’…anything you put on a pizza layer it between your noodles.
Your recipes hands down are THEEEE BEST!!!! Keep on doing it!!! I LOVETHIS CHANNEL 😋
Perfect timing ! I’m thinking about Lasagna for dinner tonight. Can’t wait ! Love from Las Vegas 😊
You sure do love that Boursin cheese! You know what? After making your stuffed pasta shells, I now love it too 🤭 I’m definitely making this lasagna.

I need to try it more. The first time I used it I didn’t love it
I usually dump the grease from the hamburger when I make spaghetti or lasagna. Other then that it looks good!
Little tip if you did have to use ricotta, just season it with salt, pepper garlic powder and a little lemon and some hot sauce or chilli flakes and it'll taste much better. Even with a little parmesan also.
Big hit! Everyone loved it! Second time making it.
Yes !!! I love the mixture because yes ricotta needs lots of help love your combination!!!!
OMG this looks amazing! We recently made your Meatloaf recipe using the Boursin, and it was incredible, it is our go to meatloaf now. We are making this lasagna recipe tonight, and with the Boursin as a component in this delicious looking lasagna, I am certain it will taste wonderful as well. Every time we make something new, I tell my family that it is one of your recipes, and the reply is always "well of course it is." Your recipes are wonderful, thank you!
Made this the day you posted it was fantastic. I had leftover meat sauce and ricotta mixture so I boiled a few noodles and mixed it in froze it and reheated it as lasagna soup my family lovedddddd it even better
Your recipe isn't too different from mine, but my ricotta mix is just ricotta, real parmesan cheese, herbs, S&P, and maybe an egg if it looks too loose. Garlic is a migraine trigger for me, so I use very little of it in the sauce and none in the cheese mixture, but that's a personal modification, not a recommendation. Garlic is delicious and I would add more if I could do so safely.
Looks good! Haven’t had a homemade lasagna in yrs. I’ll have to try this soon.
Your food is always INCREDIBLE!!! Your preparation and presentation is wonderful!!! This looks so good, and I am not a fan of Lasagna, but I would love a bit right now!! Thanks for sharing your talent!!❤
This lasagna is looking so good. I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
I am not a lasagna lover because I don't like ricotta, but this recipe brought me back!. Who knew seasoning the ricotta could make such a difference! Because it's just 2 of us, I was able to share half with my daughter and her family. It is definitely a recipe keeper.
I have to say bravo . I been makin lasagna for decades . I grew up With heavy weight italian folks . I do not mean fat . I ate their food . I made them give up Recipe idea . They loved my german born ass . So they did so . So this recipe i see as Solid .❤ I will do this this week . Hey bro i like the fork drop . It says duhhh ! This s#/÷ is killer .
Damn! Thanks for this Sunday gift! Now I gotta run and grab the ingredients to make this bad boy 🎉😊
Oh my goodness, my mouth is watering!! I’m making this tomorrow!
Mr. Make It Happen, I have a request. I used to make a French toast recipe for guests at a bed-and-breakfast where I was an innkeeper. Will you make a version of French toast that is made with Sherrie? Then make a syrup with toasted pecans, brown sugar, butter, maple syrup, and cream? The French toast is only exquisite with a fabulous syrup on it.
Love the tips on the egg and the slotted spoon
At this point Boursin should sponsor you! I always overlooked them but after your videos I grab it on every grocery store run. "Mr. Make It Happen" says we need it! lol
Oh my yummy! Your sauce looks amazing! Love your little changes , this is why cooking is so fun , you learn from others that see not the traditional and willing to take a chance on changing it up ! Going to try it your way , I will let you know !
My husband’s favorite dish. I said I wanted to make it for him next week and look how you pop up. Wow.

Making this next Sunday for family dinner.
I just made two pans of this lasagna for Easter today 2024.
Turned out good. I used no bake noodles in one and made myself a separate one with heart of palm "lasagna noodles" for a low carb version. Both were very good.
I made this. It was a great hit!
Looks so good!😁
