Okay, I know that there's the recipe thread and there's favorite food threads..

But what's your favorite thing to -cook-? It doesn't have to be something that's a favorite of yours to eat in the end, per se, but like a dish that you particularly enjoy going through the whole process of cooking and assembling and plating.

For me, I think it would be making my lasagna. .. It's soooo expensive to make, but it literally can feed an army for a week, weighs like 15 lbs depending on what all I put into the marinara and the meat..

I know I've posted about it before, but it truly is one of my bigger accomplishments, I think.. Aside from nailing the art of making my mom's fried chicken for my dad.

I scoured the interwebz for different recipes both authentic and what is typically made in kitchens... Everywhere. Or whatever. Just the basic ground beef/marinara/noodles/cheese deal.

I kinda do my own marinara with whole stewed tomatoes that I kinda crush in the pot with onion, spinach, carrot, garlic, basil, sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil and a few other things, a mix of ground sirloin, ground turkey, and spicy Italian sausage for the beef with mushrooms, & more spinach & onion & garlic.. Sometimes I'll add pancetta or slices of crisped up prosciutto if I can find it & feel like having that extra bit of meat, and then of course the cheese- ricotta mixed with mozzarella, some of the Italian cheese blend (pecorino romano, parmesan, and asiago) and egg to hold it together..

Of course, I have a nasty habit of making things a lot more complicated than they should be, but with having very limited space to do things cooking-wise, it's hard to make it easier..
