After being inspired by Molly's moussaka, I decided to try my hand at the first lasagna I have made in china.
The only reason why I haven't made lasagna before is because I am just too cheap to buy lasagna noodles. So, this time, I also decided to make my own pasta.
I followed a smitten kitchen recipe for a 7 yolk pasta, made a simple meat and mushroom tomato sauce, made some rushed-thick béchamel sauce, and scrounged up some cheddar and parmesean cheese.
The verdict: pasta was good, but very eggy. I will take a recommendation from tubbysaurus and try her pasta recipe next time. It was a solid effort, and working with the fresh pasta meant that I didn't fuss with boiling the pasta beforehand.
I really enjoyed the béchamel sauce with cheese combination over having a ton of cheese, mostly because it's an easy substitute when buying cheese is expensive and rare.
