Lasagna

[Shuley]

For some reason the night I posted this on KG I couldn't get on the KK forum.

So another thing I wanted to expand on a little bit this summer was my ability to bake in my kamado. I had done macaroni and cheese， but I knew that would be good if it picked up some smoke flavor since I frequently put a layer of smoked gouda in my version. I decided to try out a lasagna today. I made a relatively simple sauce and after cooking it for about 30 minutes I threw in all of the left over pulled pork I had.

Mixed it up， added fresh basil 20 min later off the heat.

Decided to try out these “fresh pasta sheets” from sprouts.dabbed on some ricottafollowed by mozerella and sauce.

Repeated the process then covered with another layer of noodles and sauce.

Then into the kamado.

Then I walked away for an hour to finish up decorating my 2 year old`s room (i had painted it yesterday) and made a salad. Unfortunately I had not yet cooked at 375 so I set my vents a little off so it was actually a little over 400 when I pulled it. It still came out pretty well, the top was just a little more crunchy they I would preferred.

Then I added some grated parmesan and basil while it sat for about 10 minutes while I threw together a salad with herbs.

This was really good， and I felt the lasagna benefited from the subtle hint of smoke. I am also liking using my left over pulled pork in tomatoes sauce. It works really well.

Shuley, your lasagna looks delicious, so much so that I'm wishing I had some.:) With this cooker you can have all the hot dishes you want all summer without heating up the kitchen/house.

Yeah, that pulled pork takes it to the next level, almost like "Sunday Gravy."

@Shuley - that's lasagna done right!  Impressive cook.  I"m a huge lasagna fan and I LOVE lasagna done on the KK.  Beautiful cook, great pics, just a really nice post.  Any leftovers you'd care to share?  Yeah, I thought so.  Kudos on a wonderful cook.
