Lovely on these cold days. Just made us a pot of Italian soup as it's heading for a cold few days with good snow reports in the snow resorts. By the way Bill, happy birthday mate, did send you a text.

And these Shanks were G.D. Delicious! You can trus Tin Eats for almost eveyyyyything!

So my youngest son's favorite dish is my Lasagna Al Forno. He requested it today, so I must oblige. Its a more traditional lasagna recipe. Not the Americanized meat sauce lasagna with fake shredded mozzarella and ricotta. Instead of ricotta it uses a nice bechanel sauce , and of course real mozzarella.

The key is a nice slow simmered Ragu made with onion, carrot, celery, ground beef, ground pork, red wine, beef stock and tomato puree. It cooks down for a good 3 hours building up amazing flavor.

Cooking is like therapy for me. I love the prep work, and putting it all together. It calms me down, and helps me overcome my inner demons.

My plating and presentation leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not a professional or classically trained chef, but my flavors are often spot on.

A good Béchamel sauce for the lasagna made with butter, flour, milk, parmesan, nutmeg, salt, and pepper, and then assemble lasagna with layers of noodles, Ragu, Béchamel, and finally mozzarella. Then bake at 350 F for 45 minutes.

Sounds quite delicious.

And the delicious final product.

DerAdlerIstGelandet , I'm not sure if I said this before, but you really do have kind of an artistic flair when it comes to cooking.

My go to recipe is: remove meal from outer packaging. Punch several holes in top wrapper. Microwave on high for 5 to 6 minutes. Let stand for 1 minute. Remove top wrapper carefully.

About the ONLY thing I miss about living in southeast coastal Louisiana was the food (and some great super friendly people ). So many flavors. Decided to cook up some Shrimp, Chicken, and Sausage Gumbo tomorrow. Cooking up the stock today with a rotisserie chicken.
