"She who must be obeyed" put in a request a couple days ago for some
nice homemade lasagna, as she often does this time of the year. I figured "what the heck" might as well do it right and make the pasta too. If more folks realized how damned easy it is to make pasta, I have to believe they'd make it often. You start out by sifting 3.5 cups of flour into your KA mixing bowl then you add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 4 eggs and 1/2 cup of water and mix it on speed 2 for 30 seconds with the paddle attachment Change out the paddle attachment for the dough hook and knead on speed 2 for two or three minutes Then put the dough on your board and knead by hand for another two or
three minutes,,,wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest while you start the
sauce...you can roll out the pasta after the sauce is simmering I like to start my sauce with a little pepperoni sauteing with the onion
and garlic...I like the spiciness this adds to the final sauce Then the Italian sausage and ground beef, tomato paste, tomatoes and spices After the sauce simmered for an hour or two I put the whole mess
together..starting with sauce, then pasta, then sauce, then ricotta,
then sauce, then mozzarella, etc...till done Made a quick garlic bread while the lasagne cooked...pulled the lasagne
out after 30 minutes, topped with grated pecorino romano and tossed it
back in for another 30 minutes Then pulled it out and let it rest while the bread browned up Made a little tossed salad and served As you can see from the last picture...I didn't let it rest long enough before cutting, so it kind of "mushed out" on me a little. No worries...it tasted great
