Everyone got their own way of making this delicious lasagna and I’m sure is will be equally delicious. I have been making lasagna for years but over the years I feel I’m getting more creative. Having the right flavours and texture is very important in all your cooking. I have a video for you to watch and follow a long with to make this lovely and delicious lasagna.
I like to use crushed tomatoes in my lasagna I guess I like the chunkiness of the layers and taste, but if you don’t like crushed tomatoes leave them out. Another ingredient I like to use in my lasagna is grated carrots about a cup full, this gives the lasagna a nice flavour and texture and its a great way to sneak in vegetables in your meal.
This is one of many delicious homemade meals I have available on my website, my gold is to have these quick and easy recipes available for you and your loved ones to get back into the kitchen. Making your own food is very rewarding and it can be cost effective too.
These four simple ingredients are all you need to make this homemade dough, mixing is well is another important step. Plus kneading it well for 5 to 10 minutes to activate the dough and then the texture is at its best.
Just look at the delicious dough boiling, the texture of these noodles will make you never want to buy boxed noodles again.
Continuing on with another layer the same way, this recipe is so easy and delicious.
I hope you enjoyed this video and my recipe for Homemade Lasagna I’m going to share with you one more recipe you may like to make.
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog and visit my website, so “FROM MY KITCHEN TO YOURS” have a lovely day.

Whenever I notice that one of your recipes says one cup of ground beef; it makes me wonder how much that is. We buy ground beef by the pound. Is one pound equal to 1 cup or 2?
Hi Mary: Thank you so much for your message and for visiting our website, 1 cup is a half pound. But you can use more if you like more ground beef in your filling. I hope this helps and enjoy. Bonita
I really like this recipe! and many of the others. My Mom’s parents were from Bonavista, (Moland), and Dad’s Father had a Diner in Yarmouth, NS. Grampy cooked on a big wood stove and used coal too. We had such good food growing up ) I just wanted to ask if you ever make Sea Food Lasagna? I had a good recipe, but lost it. The recipes on the internet are so fancy with too much ingredients like white wine?! I have watched many of your videos and enjoy them so much. It had a white sauce. I am sure it would be so good with your home made noodles. I know it is not traditional. But I thought you would like to try it?
Hi Peter: Thank you for your message and I’m so glad you are enjoying our videos and recipes. I could almost picture your family home from your message, I grow up with a wood stove and thats were my parents cooked all our meals. I don’t have a recipe for seafood lasagna but I do have a seafood chowder on there and a few creamy cod meals. I’m thinking the same cream sauce I used for creamed cod would be lovely for your seafood lasagna if you wish to check it out. The seafood that would work is cod, shrimp, salmon and scallops for the seafood chowder and you don’t need to use wines, I’m a pretty basic cook but I love different foods as well, I hope this helps and have a lovely day.
