I eat a container of cottage cheese a week, but I can't mix it with anything.

I like sausage and spinach in my lasagna.
Sure it was available in the 80's as well as 70's. I grew up in small town.
Chicago had Italians back then that had to have it.

If you can read. You just follow the recipe. That's how I learned. My mom taught me nothing about cooking.

Didn't you just say you made it in a crock pot? :hmmm:

I wasn't around before those dates, but my family was making the same lasagne before then — with ricotta too.

A dish made with cottage cheese instead of one that calls for ricotta is soupier.

There's also a lot more people now for more demand whereby the supply would increase. Especially, if certain dishes become more popular.

KCUnited 01-22-2017 08:30 AM
How about sales and consumption?

I can tell you we didn't just have it in lasagne growing up. On holidays there was always an Italian cheese cake, which is made with ricotta and/or there were cannolli.

Ricotta has been around since medieval times, in Italy.

I was using google to see when Italian cuisine rose in popularity. Couldn't find much, except to find it is the most popular ethnic food today here. I was surprised. I thought it would be Mexican.

That was someone else. But I've seen that online as a way to do it. Bizarre but apparently it works.

Looks good!

Lasagna takes me a damn long time to make, but I make it probably 3-4 times a year. I have a 4.5" deep pan I use, so my lasagna is deep. It freezes well, which is nice.

I always start with my own homemade tomato sauce, which makes it take longer.

For the meat, I use a combination of beef or veal, sausage, and lamb. Something about the lamb gives it a deeper, meaty flavor. Damn good.
