S'mores poptarts
Pork Chop Express
I never drive faster than I can see...
California tri-tip
Italian-American Lasagna
2 pounds fresh or packaged whole-milk ricotta cheese
2 pounds lasagna noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large eggs
pinch salt
2½ cups Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated
1 pound mozzarella cheese , preferably fresh, sliced thin
For the Italian-American Meat Sauce
2 35-ounce cans Italian Plum Tomatoes, (preferably San Marzano)
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, diced (about 2 cups)
8 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped fine
6 meaty pork neck bones, (about 3/4 pound)
1 pound ground beef
salt
¾ cup dry white wine
⅓ cup tomato paste
4 bay leaves
1½ teaspoons dried oregano, crumbled
4 cups hot water
Line a sieve with a double thickness of cheesecloth or a basket-type coffee filter.
Place the ricotta over the cheesecloth and set the sieve over a bowl.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or up to one day.
Discard the liquid that drains into the bowl.
Make the meat sauce:
Pass the tomatoes and their liquid through a food mill fitted with the fine blade. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy 4 to 5-quart pot over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 8 minutes.
Make a little room in the center of the pot, dump in the garlic and cook, stirring, until the garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
Add the pork bones and cook, turning, until lightly browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground beef and pork and season lightly with salt.
Cook, stirring to break up the meat, until the meat changes color and the water it gives off is boiled away, about 10 minutes.
Continue cooking until the meat is browned about 5 minutes.
Add the bay leaves and oregano then pour in the wine.
Bring to a boil and cook, scraping up the brown bits that cling to the pot, until the wine is almost completely evaporated.
Pour in the tomatoes, then stir in the tomato paste until is dissolved. Season lightly with salt.
Bring to a boil, adjust the heat to a lively simmer and cook, uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce takes on a deep, brick-red color, 2 to 3 hours. Add the hot water, about ½ cup at a time, as necessary to maintain the level of liquid for the length of time the sauce cooks.
Skim off any fat floating on top and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
The sauce can be prepared entirely in advance and refrigerated for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
Bring 6 quarts of salted water and the olive oil to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat.
Stir about one third of the lasagna noodles into the boiling water.
Return to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook the pasta, semi-covered, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, set a large bowl of ice water next to the stove.
When the lasagna noodles are al dente, remove them with a wire skimmer and transfer to the ice water.
Let them stand until completely chilled. Repeat the cooking and cooling with the remaining two batches of lasagna noodles.
When the cooked noodles are chilled, remove them from the ice bath and stack them on a baking sheet, separating each layer with a clean, damp kitchen towel.
While the noodles are cooking, beat the eggs with the salt in a mixing bowl until foamy.
Add the ricotta and stir until thoroughly blended. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
To assemble the lasagna, ladle about 3/4 cup of the meat sauce over the bottom of a 15 x 10-inch baking dish.
Arrange noodles lengthwise and side by side so as to cover the bottom of the baking dish and overhang the short ends of the dish by about 2 inches. (A little 'cut and paste' might be necessary. Also, the noodles will most likely overlap in the center of the dish.
That is fine.) Spoon enough meat sauce, about 2 cups, to cover the noodles in an even layer.
Sprinkle the sauce with 1/2 cup of the grated cheese.
Arrange a single layer of noodles crosswise over the cheese so they overhang the long sides of the baking dish by about 2 inches, again trimming the noodles and overlapping them as necessary.
Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles.
Arrange a single layer of noodles lengthwise over the ricotta, trimming the noodles as necessary.
Arrange the sliced mozzarella in an even layer over the noodles.
Spread 1 cup of the meat sauce over the cheese and sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheese over the sauce.
Cover with a layer of noodles, arranged lengthwise.
Spoon enough meat sauce, about 2 cups, to cover the noodles in an even layer and sprinkle the sauce with 1 cup grated cheese.
Turn the noodles overhanging the sides and ends of the dish over the lasagna, leaving a rectangular uncovered space in the middle.
Spread a thin layer of meat sauce over the top layer of noodles. Sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake 45 minutes.
Uncover the lasagna and continue baking until the top is crusty around the edges, about 20 minutes.
Let rest at least 30 minutes or up to 3 hours before cutting and serving.
To rewarm a lasagna that has been standing, cover it loosely with foil and place in a 325 degrees F oven until heated through, 15 to 45 minutes, depending on how long it has been standing.

I love eating something heavy with garlic, the after taste lingers for hours and it's so good. I wish I could smell/taste garlic all the time. Someone needs to make garlic cologne.

I could get behind that.
Just made teriyaki pork stir fry with veggies and shirataki noodles. Used lots of roasted garlic I got at the farmers market.
