cooking question

Post Reply New Topic

I just hope that no one is insulted that I decided to post this is the best spot to get an answer. No, I am being sexist.

Two days ago I made a pretty decent lasagna-the pasta did not overcook. Half of it is leftover and the younger, by 3 months, gentleman I live with would like it served warm/hot. Personally I do not care if it is heated up. My big problem is soft, mushy pasta. Since I find it easier to keep him happy than myself I have decided I should heat it. He is not as picky about things as I am.

Is it possible to serve hot leftover lasagna that doesn't have pasta/noodles that has a texture as though it was mush? If it isn't PLEASE let me know so that I can tell him that someone agrees with me and he probably would like it better cold.

Congratulations on your fine lasagna. You could serve yourself a cold portion and then pop his into the oven.

The noodles tend to absorb moisture while sitting in the fridge, as is the nature of noodles.

I'm not a super cook or anything... so I'd say oven or toaster oven is your best bet to warm it up while reducing sogginess.

They're talking about being worried it will dry out, though, not be too soggy. So I wonder if this is even a legitimate concern.

I really appreciate your replies, Myth and Saffron.

If it dries out I would rather happy.

Due to the fact that I live in a 5th wheel RV I use the grill outside instead of the oven. The ovens in these things are terrible.

Thank you very much.
