This lasagna was rated "easy". $38.42 worth of ingredients is not "easy".
Who the F knows how to make lasagna noodles al dente? Did you know there is an actual method to that? Here's how it goes:
-Put water, olive oil & salt in water - Boil water-Place 12inch noodles in pot - Wonder how they are going to cook when only 1/3 of them is covered in water. Realize you have no idea. Keep wondering.
-Watch as the noodles slowly sink into the water - Wonder if the bottom part will be "done" & the top part will be al dente. Decide not to care.
-Google "how do you know what noodles are al dente" - Watch youtube video. Decide you still aren't sure.
-Try checking the center of the noodles to see if they have "lost their color" (per the instruction of the youtube video).
-Use fork to take noodles out of water. Try & keep noodles in one piece. Disregard all ripped pieces in the sink drain so you aren't sad about your failure. Wonder if you should have used tongs.
-Place noodles in a container full of ice water til
-Take out of cold water.
-Finally realize the reason they said to put oil in the water in the beginning was so the noodles dont stick together. Those geniuses.
Ok, after this you have to assemble the actual lasagna, but that's a whole nother saga of its own.
Take it from me. Pioneer Woman lies. Or is superwoman. If you are too, then maybe you can relate. Next time I'm using the 5 ingredient recipe.
