Hi all,
I just made my first lasagna and I ran into some problems maybe somebody can help me with. I'm going to bullet these because there are so many
I just made my first lasagna and I ran into some problems maybe somebody can help me with. I'm going to bullet these because there are so many
- My noodles stuck to the bottom of my pan. How do you keep this from happening (my spaghetti does the same thing)
- Which way do you lay the noodles? I have a 9x13 inch pan and I laid them long ways.....is that right? I ended up with a lot of left over noodles
- The recipe said cook the noodles al dente so I pulled them out before they were limp. However, they wouldn't lay in the dish flat. They were curved (because they couldn't fit entirely into my pot until they were bendable). I don't know if it is because they weren't cooked enough to be pliable or if I need a bigger pot so they can boil while laying flat (do they make a pot that big!)?
- The recipe calls for laying the noodles, meat sauce, cheese sauce, ricotta cheese and mozarella. But how in the world do you spread a ricotta cheese layer on top of a cheese sauce layer? It ended up being more like a mixture of all three layers after I tried to spread it. Am I supposed to melt the ricotta cheese in the microwave and pour it on?
