Do you put eggs in your lasagna?

Goomba and I do. I mix a couple into the ricotta/parm cheese
layer. I think it holds the flavor & layer together and makes it
richer.

But obviously there are lots of ways to just leave them out. It's
lasagna-- there are no rules.

Try it. It won't hold together the way it would if there was an egg
in it, but so what?

But >>> it contains eggs. And I'm allergic to eggs.

Or at least there are not so many rules as it would seem here. Eggs might
be only in fresh pasta, too. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of
distinctly different lasagne, most of which don't have eggs other than in
possibly the pasta. My two favorites, artichoke and asparagus lasagne,
don't.

I would just let her eat the frozen junk once a month. I feel sure that it
could take years to copy it sans egg and still not please the princess.

It's not *my* newsreader that is broken. Most people's posts show up
correctly. Some do not. And I'm not about to go into each of those and put
the greater than signs on every line. This is why I put the three dashes.

NO, Quotefix doesn't work with Windows Live. I've read that more than

The question is whether one uses beaten egg in their ricotta mixture

I never made lasagna until I was in college. I worked in one of the
offices on campus and I asked two motherly types how to make lasagna.
Both were of Italian heritage. One told me to mix the ricotta with a
beaten egg, it helps to bind the shredded cheeses together with the
ricotta. One told me she didn't bother with that step.

Over the years, I have made it both ways. It will "work" either way.
It just depends on what you like.
I have to say that I prefer the texture of the lasagna with the beaten
egg mixed into the ricotta. It makes the ricotta layer more of a
"layer", less like blobs of cheese randomly placed between the pasta
and sauce.

But obviously if you can't eat eggs, just leave it out. There texture
will be different, but the lasagna will certainly work. The quality of
the cheeses you use is more important than whether you add a beaten
egg to the mixture. and the quality of the sauce, of course, too.

Then I apologize. The more Windows Live is used, the more unreadable
threads in rfc become. I am so annoyed by this, I'm thinking about
introducing certain posters (whom I like otherwise) to the kill file
until they find another news reader.

Ack! That Windows Live is soooo annoying. I used to use MSN Messenger. I
won't use it any more because it is suspect after I got that virus on my
computer. Anyway... The last time I did an update (probably 2 years ago),
it tried to put my mail through Windows Live Mail. I got it corrected and
back to Outlook Express, but it changed the association of the .eml files to
it. As a result, I could not view such files. Luckily only one person ever
sent me such files. Has to do with the way her e-mail is sent through
CompuServe. It took me until just last week to get the problem solved. I
tried and tried to reassociate those files but it just wouldn't work. Then
I downloaded a .eml viewer in an attempt to read her mails. That was a pain
in the patoot to use and I was only ever able to get it to work once. Alas,
this person is the type that forwards anything and everything that comes her
way and frankly I don't even want to see 95% of what she sends me. But she
wound up getting angry with me because *I* couldn't read her mail. I could
not get her to see that the problem was with the way she was forwarding the
mail. Now it is finally fixed.

FYI-I also add a bit of nutmeg to the cheese filling too.

My filling contains ricotta, Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella,eggs,
lots of chopped parsley and the nutmeg.

Yeah, I gave up on Windows Live in my Win7 computer. The database crashed
again and again, and when it completely deleted my archives after one crash,
I just uninstalled it.

Now I use Outlook for mail and Agent for news on that box, but I have to say
that I don't like Agent *nearly* as well as Outlook Express. I wish
Microsoft had kept OE with Win7.

Now read the docs from it. I did and posted my reply based on them. I
assure you, I googled and read them before which was the basis of my reply,
not that you use a Mac reader.

Can you tell me where in the OE addon Quotefix for MS clients, it fixed Mac
issues?

Thanks! I was worried that I would have a runny mess.

I would drain the ricotta... and add maybe some grated parm to the
mixture. I don't know what the egg replacer is made of, so I don't
know if it will work. You need something to bind to the proteins in
the cheese to make it more solid. Or have it less solid.
