That's what my mom used to make lasagna with. But that was in 1980's Iowa, where "going out for Italian food" meant Olive Garden

Smooth ricotta advice? My ricotta is always mealy. Even the expensive organic "smooth" labeled shit from whole foods. Ive tried blending it, whisking it, adding lemon juice, but I cant get it smooth. Mealy works fine in the pastas because they're all baked for enough time. But not pizza. Love it on pizza but it sucks not smooth. Halp?

ground italian sausage and marinara

>>8960635
Goat cheese

>>8960635
i also use cheddar cheeses

Well that's what I did but I was hoping that someone here who has made it before would chime in. Mainly was wondering if I should use an egg or not when I made it.

mushrooms work really well but its kinda the same thing, rich and salty filling

>>8960635
meat, usually ground beef

I add egg, parmesan, some garlic and basil to mine and mix it up really well until it's smooth and not any clumps. The egg helps hold it together.
