Caroline, I've been told that you can skip the boiling, if your sauce is is watery. With this version, I'd worry that there isn't enough free liquid to cook the noodles. Now, if you were using fresh pasta, I'm sure it would be just fine.

Oh dear, I don't think I've seen a better looking lasagna. My husband is a big lasagna lover (as am I). I'll be adding this to our menu next week.

I don't own a potato ricer, but that makes perfect sense. Gnocchi should go on my Fearless Friday list, but it'll have to be gnocchi-that-doesn't-require-the-purchase-of-any-special-tools, gnocchi.

Tomato paste is much more concentrated than crushed tomatoes. Crushed tomatoes are simply that, crushed tomatoes. The paste is created from tomatoes that have been simmered for a long time, removing most of the water. There are a lot of tomatoes in that one tiny can.

What's the difference between using crushed tomatoes and tomato paste in the sauce? I mean I know they are different, but the sauce recepie I use calls for tomato paste, but when my SIL made spaghetti and meatballs for my dad's bday last week, she used crushed tomatoes.

I've also heard that you don't have to cook lasagna noodles, that the sauce and other 'wet stuff' in the lasagna will soften them during baking.

A potato ricer is the perfect tool for squeezing frozen spinach, if you have one collecting dust because you ran out and bought one while in a fit of "I'm going to make my own gnocchi if it kills me."

I'm just saying.

We don't eat it in one sitting, but we had a birthday party for the boys on Sunday evening and had 5 additional guests. I doubled the batch and we're working on the second. Oh it's tough, let me tell you. Whoo, hate this skating out of cooking dinner deal. Whoo boy!
