I've been told by professionals and "grandma types" that I'm a great cook. I love to cook and bake and started when I was a little girl.
I have no problems with the fresh herbs, spices, and cheeses I put into my lasagna and I make my sauce from scratch, but where am I going wrong? What happens is the lasagna sometimes is in a sea of sauce (consisting of cheese and marinara). I've tried putting very little sauce and cuttng back on cheese - somewhat.
Is it too much cheese? I mix ricotta with an egg and fresh herbs and then I layer it on to cover the layer under it. I sprinkle with mozzarella (fresh) and freshly grated Parmasan and Romano (not too much).
Maybe it's too much sauce. I make tiny meatballs and use less sauce than I would for spaghetti or whatever.
I bake and then let rest a bit. This is driving me nuts.
Can some old-world cook out there help? I do everything from scratch except the noodles.
