hello everyone welcome to my channel again
today i'm gonna make one of my favorite dishes
every time i go to a Italian restaurant i always order it
it's called lasagna
so i've liked this dish ever since i was a kid
now that i'm older i learned how to make it on my own for my family
and they all really really like it
today i'm going to share this recipe with you
and i hope you'll like it
so this dish is going to take around like an hour and a half to like two hours to make
the steps are you know there's two different steps
one is you have to make the cheese sauce
and one is you have to make the lasagna sauce
it might be a bit confusing i'm going to write the recipe down for you guys
so whatever you need is you need
this is to make two batches of lasagna
so this is there's around like 20 lasagna noodles
there's two marinara sauces
there's two pounds of beef
one half teaspoon of pepper
two tablespoons of olive oil
one half teaspoon of thyme
two teaspoons of sugar
but i don't like using sugar so i use maple syrup
there's also one tablespoon of sea salt in here
four cloves of garlic
four tablespoons of parsley
might be a little bit more
and we have a whole medium onion
also there's beef broth
here's one half cup of beef broth
so everything when you do it if you're just trying to make one meal you divide it in half
so ingredients just divide it in half and you'll have the one meal one
but i'm doing two
one i'm going to freeze and one i'm going to eat
so let's start making the sauce you can come over here
just following what the package instructions tell you
and put a dash of salt in there
okay after we do that i'm going to start doing the sauce
so the sauce first of all we're gonna put...
okay i'll tell you later when it's actually ready
okay so with this sauce
first of all we're gonna put our oil
we're gonna put our onions in there
okay and we're going to saute this under medium high heat
i like to cook it just a little bit soft because
it's just my family's preference
otherwise i would put both the meat and the onions in together
okay i'm gonna put my meat in
we're gonna cook this beef until it's not pink anymore
and then we're gonna add the garlic
because sometimes when you put the garlic in too early
it burns
put in the garlic
and just sauté for another one minute
and let me just check this how's it doing
still looks a bit hard so i'm gonna wait a little bit longer
okay now i'm gonna put in
my beef broth
this my beef broth
and then just let it evaporate
put this in
super saucy
add all my salt
my thyme
my pepper
my sugar
my parsley
mix it all together
and i think my lasagna should be done
simmer this for five minutes
okay after five minutes of simmering
then we're gonna have to let it cool down
it's looking good and it smells really really good
but now what we have to do is we have to do the cheese sauce
so let's go over there
okay so now we're gonna make the cheese sauce and
all we have to do is we have to take all the cottage cheese
ricotta
and then one cup of mozzarella
the other ones i'm going to leave for later
okay and then two eggs
two eggs
and then
parsley
and mix it
do you guys like lasagna
i don't know, i i love it
ever since i was young something about it i just really like to eat
back in the day when i was in hong kong
and every time i went to like a western restaurant
i would always order lasagna
and my friends would be kind of in shock
because they think that we're artists we're all trying to go on a diet and stuff
but um out of honesty i didn't really i never really went on a diet before
because i just feel like you know every day we're working
we use so much energy already we're so tired
you know i think we need to eat
and plus i didn't know about health at all back in the day
whatever i enjoyed i just had
but now after being a mother i definitely am more aware of what i put in my system
and my children's system
so i do try to eat as healthy as i can
but not for diet purposes
for really building the the strength of the body
because i find that when you eat healthy
and when you take care of your body and
choose what to put inside your body
when your body feels good your mind naturally feels good
okay so this cheese sauce is done
okay now we are going to mix everything together
and build our lasagna tower
okay so now it's finally time to make the real thing
what you have to do is
preheat your oven to 375 degrees
okay and now we are going to start
first of all put meat sauce on the bottom of the dish
okay
spread evenly on the bottom of the dish
okay and then i'm gonna put the lasagna strip on
okay a lot of times they're too long
so i gotta cut it
and i save it for later
okay i'm gonna use my little small pieces
and then we add meat sauce again
okay
i'm excited about this
this is gonna taste really good
oh my god i haven't had lasagna for like
months
and then we're gonna add our mozzarella
and then we're gonna add our cheese sauce
okay
now we're gonna do it again
noodles
you just repeat it three times
okay mozzarella again
okay we got it again
this is our third time
okay and then
mozzarella
okay i'm gonna put a little bit more because this is the top layer
and we're done with this
okay after that you need toothpicks
we're gonna bake this
and this is to prevent the aluminum foil
from getting on the surface of this
beautiful homemade lasagna
okay now we put aluminum foil on top
we're gonna bake this one
we're gonna have this for lunch
and i'm gonna freeze this one
and my oven is almost ready
bake on 375 degrees for 45 minutes
voila
okay so now the lasagna is done baking
now we have to broil it
so what do
we do we have to take out the aluminum foil
and
broil five minutes
lasagna
can you smell it
i smell it it's so lasagna-ish
and what you do is you let it sit
for half an hour
and it's ready to eat
so this is my finished Linda Chung's homemade lasagna
i hope you like it
and please try it out
and tell me how it is
because this is absolutely my family's favorite
and my favorite too
