Today was a big day. After making some pancakes, i made some mini quiches with a sweet potato crust and then I tried my hand at lasagna.
Instead of being half way normal, using pre made lasagna noodles, and keeping the thing for myself, i went all the way out, and made the noodles from scratch (why else do i have a pasta machine?), and I invited some friends over for dinner. i made 3 pans of lasagna (2 vegetarian, and one normal) so as to make sure that if there were problems, i would enjoy them fully;)
From the get go, something went wrong. I used a tiny measuring cup which had tbsp which i confused with tsp (small letters, no caps), and i put 3 times the amount of Xantham gum, and salt, which would have been a disaster. So I tried to recover and tripled everything.
It went down from there.
The result was good, so somehow i recovered.;)
i learned:
1)The lasagna noodles should be very thin because they will double or triple during cooking.
2) People like chewy lasagna noodles, so I probably need to reduce the pre-cooking time to try to get an aldente feel.
