You’ll either LOVE or HATE the secret ingredients in my BEST Beef Lasagna |  

I've been cooking for longer than you've been alive, and I have learned more than a few things from you. Caramelizing ground meat is probably the biggest eye opener. It's so obvious when I see you do it, but it never, ever occurred to me, and it makes a huge difference in the final product.

The instant I saw miso paste added to the sauce I thought: of course! Why haven't I added miso paste to all my meat sauces before?! This looks delicious and I'll definitely give it a try!

Marion you are single handedly teaching me how to cook your channel, way of talking, production, everything is just so great 🙌🏻❤️

This is like watching an episode of Food Wars. Where Soma uses Miso to bring that extra punch of Umami to every dish he makes. XD

OMG the sauce/gravy is to die for, it is soooooo good. I used no salt due to the miso paste and soy sauce. It came out perfect. Full disclosure I went with the traditional ricotta but it was great. Thanks

I love it when Marion has fun with her recipes and we're all sitting here like mmhm star anise uh huh cottage cheese, yes teacher :) I always have total trust with her recipes no matter what she throws in there!

I love putting anchovies in my tomato sauces, so I’m sure the miso/soy are just friends in the same boat!

I made the lasagna this weekend for my guests and let me tell you it was a hit! My cousin asked for a second slice! He Couldn’t tell what was different about the lasagna but he said it was amazing thank you I love your recipes and they never let me down

Made this for my Italian family and they said it was the best lasagna they ever had! I only told them what was in it after. 🤣

4:22 I love how you always make a warning to the Italians, before adding a "special ingredient" Hahaha! 😙🤣

Thank you Marion for all your recipes. Due to your recipes I discovered Gochujang and created a "fusion" pasta dish: heat up olive oil - add sweet cherry tomates, cutted in half - add a teaspoon or more of Gochujang - stir it well until it's all mixed with the tomatoes - add cooked pasta, I use the fricellis - once served on the plate, add fresh grated parmesan

I love how she always laughs guiltily everytime she uncover the next weird ingredient 😂

Baking paper before the foil, easy yet genius. I have never thought of that!

Growing up in America in the 70s and 80s lasagna was always made with cottage cheese because the Betty Crocker cookbook taught us to do that. It's delicious.

I've done it for years, apart from the miso but I've always added soy sauce and sweet soy sauce with some beef stock powder to add a deep flavour. The sweet soy sauce balance out the tartness from the tomatoes. It's always a winner!!!

I love how you went full nerd on food when cooking, it really teaches us a lot of great info ❤

I've learned so much from you. You explain so clear that it makes it easy to make your recipes

My million dollar idea is Lasagne noodles that are the correct dimensions for a 9x13 baking dish! Why is this not a thing?

I love how excited you are when you cook.

I must give this a try. I am always looking for ways to improve the food taste. Thank you Marion. God bless y’all!!

its amazing how she integrates asian ingredients in her recipes and elevating them to new heights

Lasagne! My background is Italian and for some reason people go nuts for my lasagne but you're spot on in saying it takes hours for the sauce although I make huge batches and freeze it for pastas and lasagne but the bechamel is a pain. Marion I'm certainly now going to try your version as it looks incredible. I imagine it's umami PLUS! 🙏Marion for another great short version of a classic 🥰🌹

I've just started following this page and I have to say I LOVE it! How have I NOT come across her sooner! Thank you for sharing your cooking knowledge!! I'm going to make this tonight!❤❤❤

Just made this last night. This is literally the best lasagna recipe I’ve ever had. Tastes so delicious!

Never heard of no-boil lasagna! My life has changed forever!

Marion I enjoy your videos immensely! Your voice and style are so soothing and enjoyable! One tip with the no cook noodle sheets, you can soak a few in warm water and cut a solid piece to avoid all the cracks and smaller pieces! Tradition is great but innovation is better! Keep them coming!

No cook cheese sauce is something I am definitely going to try. The whole recipe I will try. Thank you.

Marion is what is keeping my marriage together. I love her!

I get anxiety every time Marion makes a red sauce wearing white. I keep thinking of the potential stains!!!

Lasagna is a traditional meal during the holidays. Make ahead, enjoy out of the oven and then freeze meal size portions. Made this yesterday and will never go back to my old recipe, or any other. Miso paste and soy sauce in lasagna? Wow! Delicious! Thank you Marion for another dinner table hit! Merry Christmas to you, Mama Noi, Son-in-law and family!

My Malaysian heart is very happy at this combination because I know every single twist is gonna be great and works omg this is such a genius recipe the asian-italian fusion to this is genius

I made the meat sauce tonight following your recipe. It turned out amazing. I love what the miso and soy sauce did to amp up the flavour. Thank you for sharing. This is definitely going in my cookbook.

I am total lasagna nerd and have slowly been incorporating Asian ingredients for better depth and punch for the last few years. So this makes total sense. I really love would you've done the the cheese sauce. Very impressed, will give it a spin soon. Love your work Marion!

Made this lasagna 3 times & the spaghetti numerous of times.. my toddler loves it!! And now this is the only way I’ll make my meat sauce... miso + soy sauce.. thank you!!!

Ok. I made this and added in pork mince as well. It was my first time making lasagne and it was PERFECT!!!!!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! 🤗

I made this yesterday and it was a winner. I did use a tablespoon of sugar to cut the tartness! Thank you Marion!

I've always used soy sauce in my meat sauce and people always thought I was insane! (I always add cumin too)

I did your cook along so I can just taste this already, so making this for tomorrow night , need it to warm our souls as the snow falls around us.

When you're doing an Italian recipe but you knew that Italians are gonna be sick and triggered on "versions". 😅 So you always make sure to warn them everytime you add something not authentic. 😂😂🤣

i have developed a real taste for miso, specifically because of a roasted cauliflower salad recipe i ran across on these here utubes. the dressing is made up of miso paste almond paste lemon juice and oil ( i use macadamia oil) . I dont really LIKE cauliflower but the miso dressing is sensational.

I do something pretty similar with the tomatoes, but also in Mexico we have this onion and garlic flavored tomato sauce and it tastes like a full time cooked lasagna. But I'm definitely gonna try the miso lol

Looking forward to cooking this for my family tomorrow...Marion I love watching and listening to you, you have given me inspiration!

Absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Best lasagne I have every had or made!!!!

Yum! I will make this soon. Your cheats and tricks are the best. Thank you.

Everytime I try one of her recipes, I always hear Marion’s voice in my head guiding me as I cook 😂

My goodness! I am totally gonna try this ASAP. I have the same approach of kicking up the flavors and using non traditional ingredients! Brilliant!

I’m a science geek, and I love your explanation for the caramelization of the meat. This looks amazing! But I think I would leave out the star anise (can’t stand licorice). Love your recipes, Marion ❤️

My family are Lazagna crazy, you just made a scrumptious Lasagna right there ! I will try this myself. You and your Mom makes a great team.

I have made this Lasagna just today. I have never seen a more gorgeous Lasagna. I can't wait till it cools off so I can dig in! Thanks Marion!

My mum always used to maker her lasagne with cottage cheese and I now do the same. I love it!

This looks sensational! Will definitely try! Thank you Marion xo You are a joy to watch.

I love how calm, presession and clean work she does😊👍

Omg. The baking sheet before the foil!. Mindblowing. Why didnt I think of that before? I have had many cheezy foiled experiences.

I made this over the weekend and loved it! Thank you so much!

You are amazing! So happy I found your channel. I love listening and watching how your talking with so much love about Food - and I realy love cooking with your „special ingredients“. 😇

Love this!... my mum always uses cottage cheese. When I make it I use regular dry lasagna noodles and just add a bit extra broth or water to the sauce. Comes out great.

Thank you!!! You validated my cottage cheese usage in lasagna lol. The taste and texture is so much better imo

Your cooking and presentation is pure perfection!!! So glad I found your channel!!!! 😊

Marion, You are an amazing cook❣️ ... some of the dishes you make look so scrumptious and your ingredients are so broad yet simplicity ...I look forward to trying this recipe for my family ❣️ Continue doing what you do 💌 Thank you🥰

Yes! Finally someone who understands the importance of caramelizing the beef for a true Browning process. This is what makes butter burgers the bomb too.

I’m new to Marion’s Kitchen but I’ve been making a bunch of her recipes and am very pleased with my outcomes (fully believing there would be little recognizable difference between dining from her kitchen to mine!! I had no Miso. She said Spivey and savory so I got it into my head I could make a paste (no longer white due to ingredients) but I took a Tbsp of Greek Yogurt, added a tsp of cornstarch; Tbsp of Oyster, AND Hoisin sauces; a Tbsp of Soy Sauce and a single drip of Anise oil (no Stars in my pantry, yet!). I then followed the directions while watching the video (because I have discontinued using any over-processed white flour, I bought Whole Wheat lasagna noodles which I cooled while browning my ground sirloin. Once I got the garlic, diced onions (had to have them!), paste, both types of tomatoes into the pan and got it all blended, I stirred in my “Miso” and oregano (and some fresh cut up basil). I reduced heat and after 15 minutes (my cheese filling mix time) I went in for the taste. I love it! Yes - onions and basil and fake Miso was put in but I will never make any lasagna sauce but this one, ever again! Now I’m hoping the noodle option makes will NOT make me wish I had skipped a pasta! I think the fabulous sauce will conceal the brownness and toughness of the whole wheat. 🤞

So far this is the best lasagna recipe at all times, typical Marion always unique and delicious lol!

Absolutely amazing and cuts the time into one of those broken pieces of "noodle" , best recipe!

You totally have my food palate. I love mixing little bits of Asian sauce to my classic American dishes to give off a more umami flavor!

So yummy !!! I have to try this recipe. Thank you Marion

Love watching & listening to you, you make it look very simple, thank you 😊

This sounds fabulous! I think all the unusual ingredients make the dish sound so much more inviting. I’m definitely going to try this but I’m going to make a smaller version

This is the first time I want to try making a lasagna that is different from the original, it looks amazing 😍

A little late to the show, but when you pulled that dish out of the oven after the final uncovered bake...beyond amazing. I am in awe, as usual.

Love your videos, your recipes look soooo good. I tried your chicken stock recipe and loved it, I’ll have to try this one too. Hope you all stay safe and healthy 😁

You present this in an incredibly humble way and for that I say thankyou. I'm an Italian and will try this method I traditionally include diced carrot and sliced hard boiled egg within layers.

So glad you used cottage cheese lol! That's what my mom always used and then when I told my MIL and husband they were appalled. People hate on cottage cheese so much lol. This looks amazing.

I'm gonna STARVING while I'm watching your DISHES!!!!!😋😋😋😋😋

dude, your twists and takes on cooking is awesome. you're like the queen of fusion hehe

It looks really good!! I absolutely gonna try this recipe...

looks amazingly delish. thanks for sharing this recipe with us. Regards.

Just made this, and it was my first lasagna too. OMG, it is even better than it looks. I used Pecorino but this is so rich in flavour. Thanks :)

This looks soo delicious 😋

Oh yum! I love all of your recipes! So diverse! I can’t wait to try this! I love lasagna. I even love it cold for breakfast! Can’t wait!

Oh, dear Marion!!! I cannot wait to make this lasagne.

Amazing. Followed the recipe and the flavor is pure perfection !

This is by far the best Lasagne our family has ever eaten. The flavour is rich and each ingredient played it's part. Also, this recipe didn't break my bank account. It's far more flavourful than any store or restaurant lasagna.

Thank you for sharing! I did not make lasagna, only the meat sauce with some pasta, so flavorful, will definitely keep this in my regular rotation!

Honestly I feel like you make every dish taste so much better!!! Im in love with your creations!!!

Marion, I made my recipe for lasagna but used your mince cooking to caramelize method. Also added the miso paste, soy sauce & star anise. Wow what an improvement on flavour. Thank you so so much. oh I will give your full recipe a go next time. Thank you Thank you

This looks absolutely delicious!!

This will be my lasagna recipe for life. It came out soooooo good. Best tasting lasagna I’ve ever made!

I am such a fan of Marion's cooking that even before I started watching the video, I already knew star anise was gonna be one of the secret ingredients lol

Nice recipe! I love flavor. Thank you for sharing.

I trust Marion’s recipes! They always come out great!

Looking beautiful today Marion! I'll havr to try this one..I'm obsessed with lasagna!

My lasagne is a family favourite, but I’m trying this one for sure. 💗

Thank you Marion! I love making lasagna and this recipe is very promising. I can’t wait to try it 😊

We made this yesterday. It's friggin' awesome!
