So since I made a crap load of cheese today, I decided to make some lasagna with it

I had dehydrated a bunch of my tomatoes and still had some in the pantry

so I dumped 3 cups of tomatoes into 6 cups of water

I wanted to show how to use food storage to make a good fresh meal, so I used powdered garlic, dried mined onion and red pepper flakes

I dumped in a cup of minced onions

3 tablespoons of powdered garlic

and several dashes of red pepper flakes

I also had dehydrated some green peppers

so I dumped in a 1/3 of a cup of them

8377471799_92357c7ed1_z.jpg

stirred well and set it on to simmer

after letting it simmer and stirring for 3 hours, I broke out the hand mixer

I left it a little chunky and added a little sugar to cut down on the acidity

I dropped in a pound of our sweet sausage we had made from the pigs

8378585596_04d80bbc24_z.jpg

time to make the fresh pasta sheets, I grabbed some all purpose flour, alt, a little milk and 3 eggs from our chickens

8378568628_173627c43a_z.jpg

start out by putting 2 cups into the bottom of a bowl and creating a pocket in the middle of the flour

8377504961_728601eb79_z.jpg

crack the 3 eggs into the pocket

8377506045_9095392456_z.jpg

put a 1/2 tsp of salt on the eggs and whisk the eggs up

8378583762_317e7f8871_z.jpg

as your whisking, slowly work outwards pulling flour in a little at a time into the eggs, until you create a dough ball

8377508511_7ee4180b89_z.jpg

flour up your cutting board good and dump the ball of dough onto it

8378587212_0d2dbcdcaa_z.jpg

proceed to knead the dough like bread dough for about 5 minutes, sprinkle with milk if it is to dry

8377511903_48a6170c20_z.jpg

divide the dough into 4 balls

8378589754_267dc2bb0e_z.jpg

sprinkle the cutting board with flour and flour up your rolling pin and start going to town, flour is your friend, you can not over flour, I repeat, flour is your friend, if you flip the dough over, flour the top first before you do, flour is your friend!

8378591048_a9d2d4ee75_z.jpg

I moved the dough sheet into the pan

8377516059_750a90f829_z.jpg

and grabbed my pork sauce off the stove and the two bowls of cheese curds I had made earlier, I had a nother sheet in the background ready to go

8377516811_084b362474_z.jpg

I put on a layer of sauce

8378594390_cbde2dacd7_z.jpg

then a layer of cheese curd

8377519019_b817804155_z.jpg

and proceeded to layer 3 more sheets of pasta and sauce and cheese curds

8378596480_23eda0c224_z.jpg

I stuck it into the oven at 375 for 1 hour and 15 minutes

8377583717_b32bc1006e_z.jpg

bon appetit

you can do this greenie! baby steps, try just making some cheese yourself, then expand on your knowledge and try making fresh pasta etc, it will be healthier and will save you money in the long run
