How to Make the Best Cheese and Tomato (Meatless) Lasagna and Really Good Homemade Garlic Bread 

So good. Thanks

So HAPPY you're on here..got rid of our tv in 1972 yes 1972

I love America’s Test Kitchen. No celebrity chef nonsense. Just facts.

Loving the new full episodes

O M G !!!

When I saw that golden brown crust, I fully burst into tears

I've made similar sauces, but I cook for a vegetarian (who is allergic to fish anyway). Instead of anchovies, I'd add some finely diced mushrooms. After you add the tomatoes, add a little soy sauce (a couple tablespoons, I'd say). It works really well, and is a good way to make it fully vegetarian.

That garlic bread recipe is awesome.

The starch from the par cooked noodles will help thicken the sauce and gives structure as this dish bakes. Don’t rinse your pasta. Love, an Italian momma.

My grandmother and mother always used cottage cheese in their lasagna! I love the method of soaking noodles in hot water. So much easier than boiling in a massive pot. I use a sheet pan covered with foil in my RV.

That lasagna sounds killer. Thanks ladies.

They killed Allison!! 😂

I didn't know you guys posted full episodes on youtube!! ATK has been my favorite show for years now and now that I'm at college, I don't have a TV to watch it on... but now I can watch it again! You guys are awesome!!! Always educational and always entertaining. :)

Capers can be used in place of anchovies.

love lasagnas. have you ever tried a white vegetable lasagna. Stoffers makes one but its small. and over priced.

Love Bridget, Julia, Erin, Elle and all the crew! Always learning such great tips and comprehensive recipes. Thanks ATK!

I've always said assembling lasagna or other things with similar layers like tiramisu is like playing Tetris

Enjoy your recipes. My Mother always substituted cottage cheese for ricotta because it was less expensive!

With her hair down Bridget looks like a kid! Such a natural beauty!

Happy you guys are back in full throttle!

I need a kitchen like this.

Good show

Love that you are posting episodes to RU-vid!! Keep them coming and great job!

I'm really glad the show is on RU-vid because I really like watching it on TV 👍

great lasagna !

Anchovies=UMAMI. It's surprising how just a little adds a lot of flavor. I buy anchovies paste in olive oil, comes in a tube, and add it to tomato sauce, pasta, etc. Just a little, a teaspoon or less, goes a long way.

Can we use an egg instead of cornstarch?

That's my favorite episode 😍😍😍

Fabulous recipe!!

Can't wait to try the garlic bread! You made me want to try anchovies! And the lasagne! How yummy! Love the bows on the front of the aprons!

Thank you!

I am new to this channel. I am enjoying each and every show that I have watched so far. Very educational. Thank you! From Alberta Canada

What's the difference between Cook's Country and ATK?

Hey, I appreciate you guys putting the episodes here. I can't catch you guys on TV due to schedule so this is appreciated.

I will certainly try the garlic bread!

For the vegetarian option can I use soy sauce instead of anchovies in the tomato sauce?

I love the texture of ricotta cheese, favorite part of lasagna.

Would love your recipe but why do we need to sign up for an account to get this?

I love these ladies. They have an easy going chemistry and confidence that makes them a delight to watch.

We love you and the show

I have to make that garlic bread!

dang, that looks good!

Thank you, the best in Cook make easier to learn. and welcome enjoy. You did good.

I doubt ATK will respond to a Q on a 3yr old episode so I'm asking viewers: I don't use anchovies enough to justify having them in the fridge BUT I have a bottle of Red Boat Fish Sauce which seems to last forever. I read that 1/2 tsp fish sauce= 1 anchovy. Do you agree? Any suggestions? Thanks!

That garlic bread looks amazing

Always enjoyable and informative 👍🍷

Or warding off vampires and werewolves! 😆 🤣

Damn I love this show.

The garlic bread was my favorite. Very simple and not much time input. I hope to try it out soon.

Love this show! KEEP them coming.

When they revealed the finished garlic bread I literally got goosebumps. That looked so great.

It’s a fun show, very informative. I have one request, would you please publish your recipes in a more print friendly format? Thanks

Hell-llo, indeed! Yumm on all of today's recipes.

The garlic bread looks delicious and can be veganized, yesssss!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

garlic bread! can't wait to try this recipe

Dang its 10pm and I want lasagna. Except with ricotta. Whole milk ricotta is one of my favorite cheeses.

I can't believe I am so lucky to find my two favorite blondes on TV, on RU-vid! Love the show, more please.

So what about Browning the butter and garlic on the stove? If the microwave oven is used, it takes away from the "homemade" quotient for me... Am I wrong?

Have to try this bread. Mine is always so bland. Thanks for sharing as always.

I always wake up Allison when making my Garlic Bread :D

I strongly requesting 😆 if you can do meals on a very small budget

Although I'm not a big meatless lasagna eater I know people who are, and this recipe will definitely have a place in my repertoire.

The folks at ATK can be counted on to come up with tricks for making delicious food that I would have never thought of. It keeps me coming back for more.

I've made this garlic bread before, and I thought MY garlic bread was good. This was DELICIOUS!!!!!!

The garlic bread guy is great!

Im doing this lasagna soon, but with zucchini noodles. I'll slice them on a mandolin and dry them out in the oven for a while

That's pretty much step by step how we make our lasagna now.

I am so happy to find this show on RU-vid. I haven't paid for TV for 4 years and don't regret saving that money; I regret not seeing this show. Life is good.

I like to add fish sauce to my italian tomato sauce I make for Eggplant Parmesan ..... it's delicious and I suspect accomplishes similar results to anchovies

Awesome !!! :-)

Dang. I was just about to get into this...and then anchovies showed up.

Loving the new format, and loving seeing longer videos on RU-vid. I enjoyed the taste test much more than... in the past. Keep up the great work Bridget and Julia!

7:42 Oooo she said "meltability." I like it.

Traditional lasagna doesn't have any meat right? Just sauce and sometimes a cottage cheese?

Didn't pick up on the meatless vs anchovy thing. I tend to ignore stuff like that. And as a young Catholic, eating meat on Fridays was among the least of my, umm, transgressions...

It looks good i use cast cheese Italian cheese and I know that was delicious

In some ways, lasagna is made this way in Italy 🇮🇹 without any meat in it.

i did watch that on tv pbs kids

If I put that small amount of butter in the microwave uncovered for one minute I’d be cleaning up the mess for an hour. Do you use reduced power?

There is not enough cheese in that lasagna.

Couple of comments: -- I use whole milk, locally made ricotta cheese. I have a hard time imagining that what they used here was whole milk ricotta based on the comments that were made. I also add 2 eggs, nutmeg, white pepper, fresh grated parmigiana cheese, and fresh parsley and / or basil. Occasionally I'll add a small amount of crumbled blue cheese to add some funk and mix that all together. I'll then use a zip-seal bag as a piping bag by filling the bag and snipping a corner. (This is where adding the eggs helps with the piping.) -- I think the fontina cheese decision is awesome and I can't wait to try that. -- The viewers who say that it can't be called meatless when it includes anchovies are confusing the terms "meat" and "flesh." If you look in the table of contents of any classic cookbook, you will see the flesh of animals is categorized into three categories (possibly four if you include "charcuterie"). These are Meat (Beef, Veal, Pork, Lamb, venison, etc.), Poultry (Chicken, Goose, Turkey, Duck, and quail, etc.), and Fish (fish and shellfish). So this sauce has no beef, pork, veal, or lamb, etc. Thus it is "meatless" but it is not "seafood-less." -- It's hard to appreciate that grocery store "italian bread," with its dense crumb, is better than a more traditionally crusty italian bread with a varied crumb. I have a request (if you haven't already done this): Fried Calamari and Fried Ipswich (belly) Clams.

i miss christopher kimball that on your show

I grew up eating lasagna made by an Italian grandmother, aunts and my mother and it all was delicious. I can do gruyere instead of mozzarella but cottage cheese?? I don’t think so. And a good whole milk ricotta is delicious. And you can order really good Italian anchovies on Amazon. No big deal.

Mix the sun-dried tomato with the tomato sauce ending in the stage when the tomato sauce gets a new level of flavors😊😊

They killed Allison!

Anything to substitute the anchovies?

Love love love this show it is by far the BEST cooking show out there!! I've made sooo many of your recipes & THEY'RE ALL EXCELLENT!! I love to cook, so for me all your episodes lay out a full proof method so you're able to recreate each one to perfection, if you're a seasoned chef or a beginner. The ingredients used & technics that are tested takes all the guess work out for every cook plus I love how each step is made simple. I REALLY enjoy hearing about how each recipe came about & the science behind. Product & food testing is amazing & has saved me SO much money!! It has completely taken the guess work out in both aspects. Btw the Portuguese beef stew is TO DIE FOR, OMG IT'S AMAZING & SO SIMPLE TO MAKE!!! I seriously can't thank you enough for ALL EVERYONE does to bring excellent recipes, fantastic ingredients, perfectly executed end results for all. ALL the time & money saving info shared on different gadgets, kitchen equipment & food products. It all helps beyond "measure"!!!

Oh, the soaking the noodles method is SO MUCH easier.

I thought I'd miss Chris. I was flummoxed when the new season started without him. Turns out I don't miss him. I liked him, but I've always thought he was a bit of a culinary snob. He seems to be doing well with "Milk Street." I wish him well, but I really enjoy the new format of ATK. Bridgette and Julia work well together.

Gonna have to try the Lasagna and Garlic bread recipe. Enjoying the new season.

channel 15 1

I make meatless cheese lasagna all the time. Ricotta is the best (especially whole milk) and no-boil noodles. There's no reason to fake a meat texture in the sauce--it's the best with no meat!

What kind of saucepan is that? I'm looking to get a new all 'rounder and like that it has high sides.

My mother has always used cottage cheese in lasagna. I do the same since I hate ricotta cheese. Can’t wait to try your recipes!

I can't eat anchovies what can I use instead of anchovies ty love you show watch you all the time

It all looks delicious! I love meat; will this recipe work if I add Italian sausage to the sauce?

10*

Well, hello Keith 😊

ALL!

It is all corn starch all the time. The last 7 or 8 videos I have watched have included CS as an ingredient for browning.
