Lasagna - not a good day

Foodpornstar_331878

I went to Pipilotti Risk's exhibit.

It was a great exhibit. But the bias African-American doorman outside the entrance door grossed me out for the whole afternoon and evening. Running into someone like that is just like someone spits in your soup pot when you are about to serve it to your guests. What makes it worse is that nobody around you tries to stop it and they say nothing happens. Only you know what happened.

I made this pasta lasagna to bake all my upset away. I am totally a greenhand in Italian food. The result turned out good except the lasagna was a bit dry. Why? Should I put more oil or beef? The food looks like what I feel today:'(

I maybe should put this post in midnight snack since it is midnight, and I am still snacking...

Are you on drugs?

Pasta (particularly in lasagna) tends to absorb a lot of water from the sauce. I would serve in a bowl, with an extra scoop of pasta sauce underneath.

I wish I were. But no, I am not on drugs. And Thank you, that is a very sweet question.

First, I would suggest you par-cook the lasagna pasta so that it won't absorb so much liquid. The sauce you use in lasagna should be more on the somewhat soupy side than thick and rich as you would use on spaghetti. The bechemel should be creamy without being thick and stodgy. Then there's the ricotta. Some people tend to drain it until it's so dry it would choke if you tried to eat it....again, it should be creamy and moist. All these elements will help build a moist, creamy lasagna.

All that being said, the pic of your lasagna does not displease the eye!!

I agree with @Nancy_Byrd_47779. There are so many things that could have gone wrong, but she gives you plenty of places to start investigating.

However, i fail to see what the first half of your post had to do with anything, much less your lasagna. Is there a point to it?

Foodpornstar_331878

Thank you. I will try it sometime later.

I started the dinner post with a story since I feel food and cooking is also a way to communicate.

It has less to do with cooking techniques, but it has something to do with the food. I believe how you feel is part of the cooking. Good food comforts people. My lasagna is not good enough yet.

Thank you for the detailed explanation! I love your suggestions and will try it next time.

brian_martin2001

I'll take your word for it. I honestly still don't see the connection, but you do you.

Foodpornstar_331878

Ok. I agreed that I was a bit upset yesterday. Now I soften the post. Thanks for your feedback.

Foodpornstar_331878

If you call food "drugs", then I am just like everyone else.

Glad to help! Let us know how your next adventure into lasagna works out for you!
