Yum! I made this for dinner tonight, it was very tasty indeed. I left out the tomato paste and used 3 chopped up (winter) Roma tomatoes in place of canned so it was likely significantly less tomato-y than the original, and it was awesome! It was a bit of work, but worth it for some Saturday evening cooking fun with excellent results. Thank you for the recipe!

This looks like a very tasty lasagne. I do eat gluten and dairy, but I think you’ve come up with what looks like a delicious dish in it’s own right. I often find that when people get into a lot of substitutions, either it’s not any good, or they rely heavily on processed franken-foods. Which defeats the whole purpose. I think your pine nut ricotta substitution is a great one. Pine nuts are a flavorful part of good Italian cooking, and there’s no TVP-Soyrella-fake meat to be found. I think it’s wonderful when you can make an “alternative” dish that tastes great on it’s own merits, and this one looks like it fits the bill.

I see you listed De Vinci Cafe & Bakery in Seattle. My experience there has been less then enjoyable. The owner was really rude to me when I asked her about the different $8 loaves of bread she carries.

However, The Flying Apron in the Fremont neighborhood is amazing! I love their food & baked goods & the people are really friendly. They also have a booth at several farmer’s markets around the city. http://www.flyingapron.net/

Thanks for your great blog!

Youmy,(Japanese yummy?)SS:

I’m going to try this this week-end. WITH lots of garlic, and a bechamel sauce, and the pine nut ricotta.

I wonder if you know that you don’t have to pre-boil fresh pasta? It’s a trick I learned at the Italian restaurant and fresh pasta shop I worked at. You just make sure that there’s plenty of sauce(put some sauce on top of each layer of pasta) and put a cover over it until the last 15-30 minutes, when you take it off to let it brown. No more sloppy, messy wet pasta to wrestle with. Give it a try. :)
