It‘s lasagne time of year again! 😋

Unfortunately Jeff‘s scandal gives me pause every time I open the book. 😒

tpixie Yum! I‘ll have to google the scandal… I guess even bad people do good things- the sauce looks great 3d
Jeg Had to Google the scandal. Your cooking looks great. 3d
LeahBergen Right?? My best friend loved his cookbooks and used to make me several really good meals from them (like his manicotti crepes). It ruins it a bit, doesn‘t it? 3d

Crazeedi I made sauce for Christmas! I am a sauce freak, and love my home canned tomatoes 3y
EvieBee Yay!!!! Thank you so much!! 3y
Tamra @EvieBee welcome! 3y
mandarchy 2 things: that is just like my Fanny Farmer with the pencil notes ❤ and I grew up with Jeff Smith's kids. The first time I saw melon balls I was 5 and fascinated. When he showed me the tool he used to make them I was crushed that it was so simple. 3y
Tamra @mandarchy great story! 😃 3y
EvieBee I had to come back to tell that you the sauce was amazing! Love it so much had to share a little of my batch with a friend and she was crazy about it, too! Thank you again! ♥️♥️♥️ 3y

My family tradition - 4 cheese lasagne for Xmas dinner! Sooooo tasty 😋

I dispatched my other Smith cookbooks because of the controversy surrounding him, but this one I couldn‘t because I use a handful of the recipes for Xmas dinner. 😐

Lcsmcat I did the same thing! But I typed out the recipes I actually used. 3y
Tamra @Lcsmcat good idea! 3y
EvieBee I‘d like to know more about this Sicilian sauce that is the basis for the lasagna. Sounds delish! 3y
EvieBee Now that I‘ve got the sauce down, I‘m going to try my hand at this lasagna this weekend. It‘s in the negative digits here and I‘m sick of soup! 🤗🤗 3y
Tamra @EvieBee perfect timing! My one suggestion is to consider adding extra sauce. I don‘t like a really saucy lasagne, but I think it needs a bit more than what‘s directed. You‘ll have to judge for yourself. I also now use oven ready noodles. Before I had kids I made handmade pasta! 😅 Let me know how it turns out! 3y
