I just lay them right in, dry, and make sure that I have enough moist ingredients. Then I cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and cook for about 50 min. The noodles comes out great! I got tired of cooking the noodles (hated the extra step) and my sister told me that she never cooks them ahead. So I actually got a good cooking tip from my sister! Of course I really prefer fresh pasta and I used to get the good stuff from PastaWorks in Portland, OR. Oh, I miss that place. One day I'm going to venture into making my own pasta. I'm sure someone here has made their own pasta......Donna? Chanda? Amy? Jenni? anyone?

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Maybe when I get hit with the " nesting " part of pregnancy that will include wanting to cook and bake alot? Oh, I've, too, made gnocchi. But I want to try again with a different recipe. The one I followed out of vegetarian times used soy flour and I'm not sure if it was the intense protein or so much butter/oil but my body rejected it soon after eating. I've also made spatzle, which is a German version of gnocchi (sort of). I even have a spatzle maker! When I was in Germany I visited my friend's grandmother with her and she was making pasta. She just rolled it out real thin and then used a knife to cut the width of noodles she wanted. There were noodles hanging all over her kitchen drying. It looked so simple....why haven't I tried it yet?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 I used to make my own pasta. I had the pasta maker by Ronco or is it Popiel. It worked great. Lasagna was a 2 day project when I made my own noodles. One day I would make the noodles and sauce, the next day I would make the lasagna I try to buy the fresh lasagna noodles when I make lasagna and I don't boil them first. I put sauce in the bottom of the pan then the noodles then some sauce then I start layers my veggie mixture, cheese, sauce, noodles, sauce, veggies, cheese, sauce, noodles,sauce. I bake for about 45 minutes after 30 minutes I layer some cheese on the top and then finish baking. My veggie mixture is usually chopped broccoli, chopped spinach, shredded carrots and some black olives. gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 spaetzle (its umlauted) is great. what amuses me is the different way its prepared in the us versus in germany. side dish vs main dish, cheese sauce vs butter, etc. ate at my favorite vegetarian restaurant for the last time today see you guys stateside! -Katie , " Amy " <sandpiperhiker> wrote: > > I've also made spatzle, which is a German version of gnocchi (sort > > of).

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Oooh, Gayle, can I come over to your house for lasagna? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 That sounds so good, Gayle! Has anyone made lasagna in a crockpot before? I was going to try that but I think Donnas excellent roll ups in the microwave (thank you to the person who mentioned that) would be an easier and quicker way. I've got 2 small glass dishes that I could probably fit 4-6 rollups (depending on the size). I don't " cook " with the microwave so does anyone have a suggestion as to how long to cook them in the sauce with cheese on top. The veggies are already cooked and so are the noodles so it sounds like it would just need to heat all the way through and melt the cheese. S.
