We've made your lasagna several times through the years, homemade pasta and all, and it is always a show stopper. Even entered it in a lasagna contest and won. Even though everyone was poo pooing it because it wasn't red. Then they tasted it! Thank You Gianni from North Beach Brava!
It amazes me how Americans (me) think Italian and Sicilian foods always have "pasta sauce". My grandparents were straight off the boat, and the best dishes my grandmother made was acini de pepe chicken soup starting with a whole cooked chicken, celery, salt, carrots, pepper and a lot of love. She made her ridiculously awesome meatballs that complimented it... we had fresh bread, olives, cheeses, pepperoni...and a lot of love at the table. We never went without good food. I miss those days a lot. This video gets me closer to them, so thanks a lot.(subbed)
My grandparents came from a village in Tuscany and settled in North Beach in the 1920s. I used to visit a lot before they passed, and it makes me sad to see the neighborhood disappearing. Thank you for keeping it alive! 💜🇮🇹
Gianni, Thank you , another WINNER in Italian Artisan Cooking, I made this and everybody was fighting over the LAST slice, it was crazy. Thank youi for sharring your REAL DEAL Italian Cooking and our Cultural Herritage. I am so PROUD to be Italian. AS my uncle in Angels Camp California says, there are only 2 kinds of people in this world, Italians,... and people who wanna be ! Blessings to you Pisano ! "ITALIANS RULE"!
This looks so good! I recently had some lasagna at a local Italian restaurant. It had no meat. The ricotta was very light and had a very fresh strong garlic flavor. The layers of ricotta were very thick. It had no sauce inside, just a little on top. My husband didn't like it, but I fell in love with it. It doesn't sound like much, but it was so fresh tasting and delicious. Have you ever heard of a kind of lasagna like this? I tried to reproduce it once, but couldn't nail it.
Mr. Gianni, chapeau!!! A Lasagna like this, not even in my part of Italy do they make it sooooooooooooooo finger-licking-good. Now I know what to prepare for this coming Easter. I just had to subscribe to your channel
Gianni (my uncle’s name too), your recipes and cooking are absolutely gastronomical. I grew up eating central (Marche) and southern (Calabria) Italian home cooked cuisine. 🇮🇹😊
We are making this tonight! My son who is home from college for the pandemic did the sauce, I’m making the noodles and béchamel. We are so excited to see how it is! Since we’re pastaholics we’re making 2 meat layers in order to include more pasta.
@montrealstars60 The lasagna would be perfect for Easter. We'll post 2 other Easter favs soon pizza rustica and pastiera napoletana a savory and sweet pie to start and end your meal.
nice , we add some ricotta on one of the béchamel layers, only one, , I do like the the full size noodles , we have to make them for some reason stores don`t sell them here in the usa
Pasta, pasta, pasta! Check out the fresh pasta recipe in the ravioli segment. I love these dishes and the fresh pasta can be used to make many different dishes. Have at it!
@luvfud Grazie. Let me know if you make the lasagna. That's the proof of the value of my cooking episodes. Well, another value is the crew and I get to eat what we make! BTW, this lasagna is even better the next day after the ingredients meld.
Ciao Anna-Maria. I grew up on N.15th St., in Bloomfield, 2 blocks from the Belmont Tavern in Belleville's Silver Lake and around the corner from Columbus Hospital in the North Ward of Newark. Where you from? Buon appetito! --Gianni
I made something similar to this yesterday. I didn't make balsamella, so just some more cheese. I added some ricotta. In the end it came out nicely, but I was surprised by how strong ricotta tastes, next time I'll have less ricotta.
Thanks for the first comment on lasagna al forno. Glad you liked the episode. We'll post the fresh pasta dough recipe and one for cheese ravioli along with the full text recipes soon. Any thoughts about making us bigger on UA-cam are appreciated. We're doing the best we can out of my little kitchen! Buon apettito.
My Mom puts chicken livers in heart meat sauce...this is pretty incredible though...I thought you would have done another layer of sauce on top though...homemade noodles...wow...
That drum beat sounds so familiar. Sounds like a lion dancing drum beat. haha Anyways, yes I agree that lasagna is more sophisticated. I'm tired of lasagna with too much tomato sauce.
There's no reason why this channel shouldnt have 100 times more subscribers. Maybe you could get Guy Fieri to show up for a guest spot and remark that "we're pullin' into Flavortown here, folks!" or something stupid to get people to actually watch.
i think I will briefly cook the sheets--what happens if you dont ? its nice* to see a bit of american mixed with italian which is kind of heavy russian...the kind to chase you around the kitchen with a dough baton and kick your ass all over the place....hahah so your lucky that your thoughts are kinder then the truth....germany-italy-russia--make your house tuscany and think happy thoughts.....hahah

Ham Steaks I definitely learned something new. I always thought lasagna was tomato/meat sauce based.
