Join Chris Morocco in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as he makes BA's best lasagna. Why in the world would we tell you to make meatballs, brown them, and then break them into pieces—for a ragù? Sounds crazy, but it’s the best way we found to sear a big batch of meat without overcooking it. This MeatballMethod™ yields deep color (a.k.a. flavor) along with tender meat. If you want to use fresh pasta, go for it, you overachiever you. We also tested the recipe with no-boil noodles, but found they soak up a lot more sauce and the lasagna loses its wonderful ooziness; instead, we recommend the regular dried stuff.heck out the recipe here: www.bonappetit.com/recipe/ba-best-lasagna

Idea: a behind-the-scenes video/series about developing a ba's best recipe. Similar to making perfect except it just follows and walks us through the "normal" development process, the thought process, etc.

Is anyone ever complexed by the sort of cult following BA has acquired? I don’t know how we all got here but I would never have it any other way

I love how he doesn’t break and is just so serious while saying “drawing pentagrams everywhere”

Chris: (spends 5 minutes explaining lasagna noodles) Chris: I'm just going to jump right into it. Chris: (spends 5 more minutes explaining meat blend) Chris: I'm just going to jump right into it.

Made this for Mother's Day this year, thought I wouldn't succeed as I couldn't as much bake a cookie. But I did!! Took me THE WHOLE DAY but I never felt prouder for myself. They were delicious!
