Lasagna Recipes

Play with the spices until you get desired taste,I always add a little more of this and a little less of that.

I have several little tricks to this, like things to do with the sauce. For example, I like to add a splash of red wine in my sauce, right before I add the puree. Sometimes I use crushed tomatoes instead or in addition to the puree. Also, right before my sauce is done, I like to add a pinch of sugar to it, to cut down on the acidity. I also like to "spike" my ricotta by adding plenty of black pepper and basil. Lastly, if you want better lasagna, use fresh mozzarella cheese, and not the packaged stuff. Any good deli will have it! Good luck!!!

you may or may not be interested to know that a woman asked me for a sherried chicken casserole I served at a luncheon. I knew the woman quite well and said sure will you give me your scallop lasagna recipe? She said yes. Well I wrote down the recipe she wanted on a nice card and gave it to her. For weeks I kept asking for her recipe. Well, she finally told me she didn't give out recipes! I felt she could have mentioned that when I first asked! Anyway, I have searched for this recipe for years! I finally found it and am giving it out to anyone who asks with the request that whomever you serve it to, if they ask where did you get this recipe you answer LISA HERTLEIN. Just in case it is her!

Can be prepared ahead and frozen until needed. Thaw slightly and cook as indicated until bubbly.

You can vary the vegetables to suit your taste.

Lasagna is one of my all-time passions. The natural bitterness of spinach plays the foil to the sweetness of the crabmeat. This recipe honors my friend Glen Fischer's memory, for his lifelong support of human rights. Lasagna was his specialty.

You can change the vegetables as you wish, using about 5 or 6 cups total.

There are many variations of Chicken Lasagna, but I like this rather bland version on occasion.
