This pasta is a better quality than our South African grown wheat products. Definitely easier on my tummy! I like the unusual shape of this lasagne...long thin strips with curly edges along the length. It fitted well into my lasagne dish...3 pieces across and then I cut one last piece to finish the right hand side vertically (to get a clean break - on a cutting board use a big chefs knife and hit it down hard where you need the break to avoid the splintering you get if snapped by hand). I used a big dish of 30x20x7cm and I got 5 full layers of pasta. If you used a smaller dish and 1 or 2 less layers, this box should last for 2 dishes. After cooking for 25mins in a 180°C oven and 10mins resting time on the counter, the pasta was on the firmer side of al-dente...my kids found it too firm. So I would perhaps cook it an extra 5mins or increase the resting time a bit to help let the pasta soften and absorb more liquid. It was absolutely perfect (and even tastier) the next day though as there were ample leftovers! :)
The mushrooms make the base too soggy and while that may be fine for an oven bake it is terrible in a pizza oven which requires you to turn it. The centre sticks because it is wet
I received my delivery less than a week ago and my bottle is past half used. That’s a testament to how good this truffle oil is. I will definitely be ordering again. Service was also impeccable.
I am impressed with the easy online purchase and fast delivery. I am a cheesemaker and use the truffles in soft cheese that can be enjoyed with crackers.
Easy to navigate the website and delivery was super quick. Great service from that perspective. Flour has a great content of protein which is perfect for baking
I bought the Manitoba flour because of the 14% protein not found in any local flours in SA. First-up was a sourdough bread. The crumb is more open, so those extra strong gluten are doing their job. Next-up are rolls. The aim is crisp, and one would say nearly hollow inside (never achieved with locally produced flours). Fingers crossed.
