I don't live there anymore but I know a lot of the ER docs at St. Paul's and VGH. If you start to feel chest pains after dinner and wanna jump the queue just let me know and I'll tell them to have the crash cart ready for your arrival. Just Joshin' ;P

Baconsagna Assembly Phase...

Assisted by my associate Baconsagna Assembly Technician, we have assembled the lasagna and have deposited it into the oven.

Timer set.

Joshooah Lovenkraft · 11-28-2010, 09:47 PM

The anticipation is killing me! I love the fact that you're posting a real time play by play.

Cubey Terra · 11-28-2010, 10:02 PM

Ahh, the aroma of bacon and artichokes.

Coming out of the oven...

Voila...

**Cristiano** · 11-28-2010, 10:07 PM

Yay thanks to SLU's crazy Googlefu, this thread is the # 2 result for BACONSAGNA

Joshooah Lovenkraft · 11-28-2010, 10:16 PM

Your next mission, should you choose to accept it is ...

Baconhenge!

Delicious. The bacon was a little strong against the sauce. I would probably not use maple bacon next time. Otherwise... droool.

Judging by your profile pic, your puppy eyes are actually disembodied and glued to a wig. eww

**Vivianne Draper** · 11-29-2010, 09:51 AM

you use cottage cheese instead of ricotta? Also I saw what looks like artichoke hearts on the table but did not see where you used them. Did you eat them while assemblage was happening?

In the making of a baconsagna, one needn't be especially choosy about the quality of the ingredients. After all, the lasagna is merely a vehicle for the delicious, crispy bacon. So yup, cottage cheese. Tasted just fine, actually.

If I were to do a proper one, I'm guessing I'd use freshly-made pasta (not dried), ricotta (not cottage), and pancetta (not bacon). But then, that wouldn't be a baconsagna. It would be a pancettagna, which is a lot harder to say.

The artichoke hearts were spread over the top of the lasagna under the top layer of cheese. Some didn't survive the assembly. Mmm, marinated artichoke hearts.

Cubey, I am so coming over for some BACONsagna.

Deson Bowenford · 11-29-2010, 02:07 PM

Cubey, Please post the recipe so that I can send it to some friends of mine. I can sense them recoiling in horror as I type and I love to torment them (what are good friends for anyway?) from time to time.

There's not much to the recipe that isn't in the photos. It's just your basic lasagna, but with bacon strips added into one of the layers. Oh and artichoke hearts on top. You can probably find a good lasagna recipe just by googling "lasagna recipe".

As far as tips for making a *good* lasagna, the key is in the sauce. I like to make it as thick as possible because otherwise all the liquid makes the bottom of the lasagna pan all soupy, and things fall apart. Also: use the cheese between layers like glue.
