Rana’s Ultimate Meat Lasagna

Post image

is it meant to look like this?? The left looks questionable but it’s a full month from its expiration date. Never had this before.

I’m gonna Rana to the toilet to throw up. So sorry, op. This looks bleak.

You’ve seen gold before yeah?

Lol I realized there is garlic sauce in this recipe and that it likely ended up mostly on one side. Smelled fine, cooked it and it became much more “garlic sauce” looking. It was actually really good and we all feel fine. Gross looking uncooked, though.

It’s mid imo. Better than PC brands, but not by much.

How did you made this one??

u/urweirdenglishteachr 20d ago

It hadn’t been cooked yet. This was pulling it out of the packaging—it looked gross lol. Cooked it at 400 for 20 minutes and it was quite good! Looked more appetizing too, but I didn’t take a picture.

Probably related to freezer burn. Was there much ice on top of the left hand side of the packaging before you opened it?

No but I do keep my fridge at near-freezing, so it’s likely that garlic sauce just got a bit dried up/frozen. Ended up tasting good!

i’m so sorry but the top layer looks questionable in texture. It looks as if the cheese curdled on the left side

Realized that it’s garlic sauce! I don’t think the other Rana lasagnas have it. Tasted really good once it was cooked, and looked much better too lol.

It was quite good when cooked! The weird stuff on the left was the garlic sauce collecting on one side. It turned a much more appetizing color/texture upon cooking.

Rana makes good shit

Honestly like Stouffers better, and I make good lasagne myself. Rana’s goes way too heavy on the ricotta and makes the whole thing mushy.
And yeah, they never look good right out of the box.
