We’ve got family and company coming for the holidays. We need to feed them. Oh my gosh what shall we do. I know. Let’s make a pan of lasagna. Is that enough? Maybe not. Well then let’s make THREE ENORMOUS pans of lasagna. So that’s what Katie and I did today. Many layers of meat sauce, noodles, ricotta, mozzarella and topped with parmesan. Our own little manufacturing line. Now they are all done. Think I got enough? Yeah. Now they are in the freezer waiting for the holidays and our guests.
Here is what one looks like. This single uncooked pan weighs over twelve pounds.
Update:Yesterday I took the two remaining pans of lasagna out of the freezer. Note: The first pan was devoured over the holidays. I dipped each pan into hot water to loosen it’s content from the pan. After cutting around the edges I removed the block of lasagna from the pan. With my workshop saber saw (recently cleaned) I sawed, yes sawed, each block into six smaller portions. Then Kathy helped me to reseal them into vacuum-sealed bags. It was a bit messy, but doing it this way worked for me. P.S. I thought a circular saw would have been even messier although much faster.
Oh my goodness this looks good! Sounds like you made enough for all of us to even have some for breakfast :)…just kidding…it doesn’t go real well with nutella.

Hmmm, that got me thinking… How about a layered breakfast treat. Start with a mix of strawberries pieces and milk chocolate, then a layer of melba toast, then a layer of nutella, then a layer of cool whip with nut meats, and repeat until you’ve got three sets of layers. Finally top with chocolate sprinkles. I’m willing to give it a try when you’re here if you are. And I’m not kidding…
