The Stay At Home Chef you have absolutely amazing recipes! thank you so much for sharing! Most of them are so decadent my husband and our kids need to take a walk afterwards lol good problems!
The Stay At Home Chef the recipe says 2 cans of tomato paste but in your video you use one.can u clarify if its one or two.this looks so delicious will be making this.thanks in advance.
I just tried your recipe. Replacing a few ingredients not available in our local grocery store. But it turned out great nevertheless. Thankyou, :-) happy holidays
I always read comments/reviews on recipes and I’m always skeptical for some reason. Especially for a good, authentic sauce/lasagna. I never write reviews either. This recipe was hands down the BESTTT lasagna and sauce recipe ever. I simmered the sauce for 4 hours and added rosemary, bay leaves, and some red pepper flakes. Absolutely incredible flavor. My roommate said it was better than his grandmothers who’s been making it for years. 100% recommend.
I've been making lasagna 40 plus years. My daughter made yours (she never was into cooking) on the fly and my mouth dropped open. I just printed out your recipe and your spaghetti sauce recipe. A lot easier than what I go thru.
God bless you for this recipe. My fam said it was the best they’ve EVER had. For anyone who doesn’t have all of the ingredients, don’t fret! I personally used Sazon seasoning instead of oregano, used one pack of ground beef (1.3 lbs) but no sausage, did not use fennel seeds, nutmeg, or sugar, & used regular parsley & basil rather than fresh ones, yet it still came out AMAZING!
Seriously guys, this is hands down the best lasagna I’ve ever had in my whole life and that’s no exaggeration! I made this today for Father’s Day for my family and my dad and husband got so full and couldn’t move because they couldn’t stop eating it! It’s so true that the key is to let the sauce simmer, I cooked the sauce on the stove first for a hour and then after I simmered it in the crock pot for 2 hours on low and 2 hours on high! I didn’t add fennel seed but it was still so delicious!!!!!! Im still in shock how great it tasted you guys! Please please please try this recipe you won’t be disappointed!
I've now made this, following your recipe, about four times and it has been a hit every single time. Despite the hearty nature and large portion, there has never been a time when I've had leftovers. Terrific video and your step by step instructions are perfect. Thank you for this great recipe.
Love Rachel's no nonsense presentation and that she includes a written recipe WITH timestamps. Professional approach. Oh and this is a real good recipe, I'll agree a "Most Amazing Lasagna"! New Sub!
Terrific recipe. It was absolutely delicious. I substituted the sweet sausage for mild. It was my first time making a lasagna with non store bought pasta sauce. The sauce was delicious and the family loved it. I also love how the video shows step by step instructions and how you are very straight to the point with your directions in this recipe. I look forward to cooking many more of your dishes !!
Made it today. It's NOT one of the best. IT IS THE BEST TO DATE. Exactly, well almost. Forgot the sliced mozzarella but did replace it with shredded. Still came out great. Thank you. Already copied the recipe for when travelling, in csde I get the urge.
This sounds awesome with fennel seeds! Mind blown with the soaking noodles tip😳!! I’ve got a little trick for the tomato paste, use a can opener on BOTH ends of the can, remove one cut lid & and push the paste out using the other lid! So much easier! Can’t wait to try this!! Thank you!
Someone made this at a get-together and I asked him to send me the recipe and I make this all the time now. Everyone says it’s the best lasagna they’ve ever had!! One thing I omit from your recipe is the fennel seeds and I always add about 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper.
This is the best lasagna recipe I have found and my whole family loves it. I double the meat sauce recipe and freeze it for use later and it still comes out great!
I have been making this lasagna for 4yrs and today my 9yr daughter made it for the first time on her own. She’s an aspiring chef and this made her feel proud of herself. Thanks for the delicious recipe.
Dina Kemp I follow the recipe but for the cooking time I use a thermometer to check the center. I remove it from the oven when it reaches 165 degrees. Then I let it rest for 20min before cutting.
2019 and out of all the lasagna videos I choose to follow your recipe your personality was pleasant and directions user friendly although I pushed the vid back a few times I like the ease of your cooking direction thanks from a cool black guy in Bowie,Md just put into oven Cheers “ 🙏🏾 had to come back and edit to say I added two bags of freshly chopped spinach to recipe and only used ground turkey 🦃 with meat sauce
Made this recipe! I sub the herbs with Italian dry herb pack. Skipped the chicken stock. Halved the recipe, but kept same amount of garlic and tomato sauce. Also didn’t use any nutmeg. Added oregano into my ricotta mixture because I love oregano! This a great base recipe which is super adaptable. subscribed !!!
My friend is allergic to onions and this turned out fantastic omitting them. You can't get fresh parsley often where I live so I substituted dry (1 tsp dry for 1 tablespoon fresh) then added fresh spinanch for the fresh flavor) I simmered the sauce in a crockpot and it turned out exceptional. Thank you so much.
That cottage cheese mix used instead of the classic white sauce is a game changer. I trusted your recipe and it changed my taste for lasagna forever! I used lamb mince instead of the Italian sausage. I also sautéed the onion and the garlic then added the mince beef and lamb in. I used instant lasagna sheets which do not require pre-cooking. Other than these, I followed the recipe exactly as explained and the lasagna turned out beautifully. It is so light and easy to eat. The sugar you add bring out all the flavours. Just beautiful.
Let me tell you this is the most delicious lasagna recipe ever!! i made it over 4 5 years ago and i still remember how amazing it tasted. i am planning to make it again for my future husband and the family. Thanks Rachel
Who is making lasagna today? I'm glad everyone is busy getting toilet paper, hand sanitizer, etc. That way I can find the ingredients for my lasagna, lol 😆 😄
First time watching her cooking and I must say she is very organize. I like how she has every little detail in writing and left no puzzle even for person like me,who doesn’t know how to cook.
@@anikaghoshbasu9191 Oh im not sure abt the original comment but in my school you have a few open periods and you can pick classes you want to join and cooking is one of them, so it would be part of our curriculum.
I think I would have sautéed the onions too and sweated then put with some salt and pepper, then putting in the garlic, then cooking the meat. That way you have beautifully Caramelized onions in your meat sauce that melt just into the sauce.
OR ... just use an excellent jar of marinara with all the herbs, spices and veggies already in it and just mix it with the meat. :D Way faster. Just as good.
@@FemmeFatalee haven't looked into what sauteeing onions is or is like but do you think i could caramelize the garlic and onion then blend it into the sauce? I think the flavor in sauces is really helpful but im just not a fan of the texture of onions
@@mrfriessf214902 yes! Mix it in with the meat after you saute both the onions and garlic its tastier ..hardly any onion taste and it makes it really tasty
I’ve been making this recipe (sans sausage) for over 1 year and my family loves it so much! I give The Stay at home chef credit every time someone asks me about it.
I made this recipe but I made way to much sauce , I made three lasagnas one I froze the lasagna after I made it , one month later I needed to be served , well let me tell you it was so tasty very fresh. The meat sauce I had a lot left over again I froze in containers . I have used that sauce it taste so yummy . Thank Stay at Home Chef for this amazing and delicious recipe.
2019: just made it for my family and it is the best lasagna ever!!! Not too salty, not too sweet but just wonderful! Full of flavor and chewy, gooey deliciousness! Thank you!!!!!
I just made this today. The only thing I changed was to substitute five bay leaves for the chopped basil (I just didn't have basil) in making the sauce, which I (of course) removed before adding to the layers. Delicious. Perfectly seasoned. It's definitely going to be in my cooking rotation now.
I cooked this lasagna tonight, i basically followed the receipt the best i could... the fennel seed & ground oregano really made this dish ** POP ! .... easily one of the best lasagna's ive ever eaten ..... thanks so much for sharing this receipt "Stay at Home Chef". cheers 🙂
I have made this receipe heaps and heaps of time. My all time favorite it's exactly as she described it..So flavorful and delicious. Thank you very much for this amazing, divine receipe.
@@Thestayathomechef Hello. I printed this and excited to make. The print says 1/2 cup white wine. You used chicken broth. Which is best please. Love this video!!!
I made this recipe several weeks ago and my family loved it!! Makes many servings and leftovers freeze beautifully! I love your videos!! You are such a good cook!!
Recently I started reviewing lasagna recipes looking for one that could be my "go to" recipe. I saw this one and reviewed the video and I did not even look at any more recipes. I agree and am comfortable with each step and ingredient so I will try it very soon. I really liked the "noodle hack". This will really help with the dreaded boiling the noodles step, plus I don't care for the new no-boil noodles. Thank you for a good video and recipe.
I’ve never made a lasagna before. I wanted to make a lasagna for Christmas and found this recipe. I don’t like fennel; so I skipped it. Love the idea of soaking the noodles; it worked so well. I enjoyed making the lasagna along this video. Thank you! It tasted amazing too!! 👩🍳
Glad to hear that it turned out well and tasted amazing! I'm planning to make this for an upcoming potluck. It'll be my first time making lasagna, so I wanted to see how it was for other first-timers as well! I was a little bit weary about soaking the noodles, but hopefully it'll be okay! Wish me luck :)
This is my first time making lasagna. I’m a avid cook, been cooking for 25 years but never made lasagna. Anyway, I don’t like fennel seed either, do you think it lacked any flavor without it?
I made this lasagna recipe for my Christmas dinner and I RECOMMEND THIS RECIPE, its delicious and very yummy and im just a 13 year old kid who made this all by myself
Hello. I never thought to put fennel seeds in a sauce but it's a great idea. Fennel seeds are one of the key ingredients to make fresh and dried Italian sausages (also known as soppresata).
You are the best i cooked exactly how you said and you didn’t disappoint i felt like a real chef cooking for a quality restaurant meal I’m very happy and glad also in tears because not only you help me cook without my mom and Grandmas will but you gave us new ideas,tricks and knowledge about how to depend on yourself and not on your parents. You deserve my respect and I’m definitely going to follow the other meals that you are sharing with us thank you so much 😭♥️.
Okay, I just tried this for the first time last night! It took a very long time and it isn't really a cheap thing to make but it came out so so good!! I very much recommend this!! A few things I would change though is adding more meat sauce so the cheese isn't so over powering. Making mozzarella and parmesan cheese the last layer so it looks all cool and yellow and cheesy on top. (i repeated the pattern and it ended with meat sauce as top coat still yummy but didn't look as cool lol) ...and lastly (i could be wrong) but I heard hot tap water has a lot of bad things in it so I just put cold water in a pot and boiled the water and poured it over the noodles.......just be careful maybe don't pile them evenly on top of each other spread as much as you can and maybe a few time flip them or move them around because mine ended up sticking together and then ripping apart when I tried to separate them. BUT VERY YUMMY!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! :)
20 years ago I made my first lasagna. It was simple but time consuming. I've always made it the same and it's well loved but I think I'm going to make 2 changes. The noodle idea is genius and so are the cheese SLICES! Thanks!
I have tried this recipe and it turned out perfectly So amazing and delicious and I have subscribed But I changed the brocoto cheese to cream yoghurt and tasted amazing
Delicious!!! I just finished making this and it truly is AMAZING! I let it simmer for 4 hours and it was WORTH the wait. It will be my go to lasagna reciepe. Thank you for sharing and yes, the Fennel Seeds is a winner! 😊
Thank you, Chef. I finally got around to making this and I had to make some alterations. My wife is allergic to pork so I went with chorizo turkey sausage and downgraded the beef from 93% lean to 85% lean. This seemed to solve the fat content issue. Also, I used 32-36oz of low fat, small curd cottage cheese in place of the ricotta. I just added a bit more parsley and nutmeg, but the single egg was enough to do its job. All-in-all, it was a most excellent lasagna and the kids were fighting for the leftovers later that night. Again, thank you for providing this recipe. I'm subbed now for future recipes. Keep up the great work!
I also use some cottage cheese but I go with a 4:1 mix of ricotta to cottage. It adds a bit more ‘tang’ to it. I’m curious about this hack she talked about with soaking the pasta for 30 minutes instead of boiling. Did that work? 🤜🤛
This is Michael's wife, and this recipe is the BOMB! My mother taught me years ago how to make lasagna, however, this one beats all - it is was a HUGE hit with my sons, husband and I loved it too - I'm the pickiest because I made it, I tend to find the smallest problem with it. Thank you for posting, I am going to start looking at all of your other recipes now. Angeline :)
It's TRUE folks. She is not lying. This lasagna is the best. I used a slow cooker for the sauce. I'm in tears just tasting this awesome lasagna. Thank you👍
I love this recipe. This was my first time ever making lasagna. I went almost to the T on this recipe because I’ve never cooked lasagna before and I never really liked lasagne but I cooked this for my father in law’s 87th birthday dinner and since she said it was the most amazing lasagna, I took her word for it. Everyone loved this recipe. The only thing I did differently was I used 3 lbs 80/20 ground beef because I already had it in the fridge and I needed to cook it. I also added more nutmeg. I just didn’t feel like 1/8 tsp was enough. If I add an ingredient, I want to taste that ingredient. It was not disappointing. I also added the fennel to the ricotta cheese. It was really good. I highly recommend this recipe.
Accurate title - made it today and it truly is the best! I originally had my eye set on an easier recipe but went with this one once I saw she was mixing Italian sausage with beef. Also I used the last 3-5mins to broil instead for a more golden cheese crust.
I made your lasagna tonight and I can’t say enough about it!!! My family loved it. You made it so easy to make. Loved that hack on the noodles since that used to be the only thing I didn’t like doing!❤️
Hey guys just a couple tips! Use oven ready lasagna noodles so you won’t have to do anything to the noodles. Also make this the day before so the flavors really can melt together. Trust me your lasagna will be a lot better.
I made it is sooo delicious, the only problem I had was that my/dish was not deep enough to have three layers… but the flavor is amazing! The Italian sausage and the fennel is key to this dish. Congratulations on the book
This is "The Most Amazing Lasagna"! I am going to make it again today after having made it for the first time just a couple of weeks ago! Thank You Rachel! This is my new "GO TO" recipe for Lasagna!
I made this lasagna Friday night and this is the Most Amazing recipe and I'm keeping it forever❤❤❤❤❤! My family lovvvvvveeeeddd this and so did I. I'm never going back to frozen lasagna 🤮😂. Thanks so much
Update: I made this and the family LOVED it. My only change is with the draining of the meat. She doesn't tell you to drain the meat before adding the tomato-based ingredients etc. I recommend you do or you'll end up with any overly fluidlike sauce. I had added all the ingredients and had to end up using a collander to drain it. I had a bowl of loose sauce left, which i scooped two spoonfuls back into the meatier concoction, which matched the consistency of what she put at the bottom of the lasagna dish. THEN it was perfect. I think someone said on here the chicken broth was unnecessary and it probably was. I am not sure what the chicken broth actually does for this sauce.
The chicken broth allows the right amount of liquid expansion for the sauce to simmer for a few hours without burning, as old Italian tradition intended
