I'll make it maybe three times a year.

My trick for when I eat out. Order something I don't enjoy making, or can't make as well.

If I can make it just as good at home, why bother.

How do the noodles not fall apart?

Not that I do much cooking. I'm just intrigued.

I'd give you a recipe, but mine's from a book. there are lots on the web, but I can't vouch for them. mine's vegetarian (cheese only, no meat)

I was curious. No need for recipe. I don't do much cooking. Just was wondering about how the noodles stay okay.

I always make enough to freeze for other meals.

Easy to do since there are just two of us here.

And it always tastes better the second time around anyway.

and that is an extension of my number one travel rule of never eating at a restaurant that we have back home.


I can make lasagna but yeah, it's a PITA to do right and it's not as enjoyable to eat when you do shortcuts.


But sometimes, i have a jar of Classico 4 Cheese and I don't feel like going out but I want lasagna so I cheat anyway.

tarragon. Yummy. But too much work. And you can't just make a little bit. I don't have a big freezer these days.

I love lasagna but unfortunately due to food sensitivities, I can't eat a lot of it (anything with sausage in it).

I've never actually made lasagna, when I want it I buy it frozen from Trader Joe's (veggie lasagna in individual portions).

It is Kroger's Private Selection Sauteed Vegetable Lasagna. I'm anxious to try it.
