I made this lasagna from absolute scratch. I made my own homemade mozzarella, ricotta, and pasta, and I grew all of my own tomatoes and herbs. [2048 x 1152]
I have roughly 8 hours of work in it, if we're not including gardening time. On the first day, I made the meat sauce and ricotta; on the next day I made the mozzarella and pasta, then assembled and cooked it. It was fantastic. The only cheese I didn't make was some Parmesan, because it has to age like 9 months. That's coming in the future, though.
I think for my next "total scratch" project, I'll do a pepperoni pizza with homemade dough, mozzarella, marinara, and pepperoni. I don't have a sausage casing stuffer yet, but it's on my short list of kitchen gadgets to buy. I've already done some other aged+cured meat products.
I hope it tasted good because what a massive case of culinary blue balls it would be to bite into that only to find out the pasta was undercooked and sauce was oversalted.

If you want to make lasagna from scratch, you must first invent the universe.
