This time I'm not out for a adventure in a restaurant. No! This time I did cook myself and god it was awesome. Ok.. where do I start. Last week I had my friend Sarah over and we decided to have a good time and cook and eat whatever we want.
We decided to make various meals... of which I'd like to share some pictures with you guys.
First of, we started with a receipt of my home country... Italy.

Cut smoked bacon into little pieces

Put the bacon in a pot first and fry it until it gets a bit crispy

Add the rest (celery, carrot, onion and later (~7 minutes in this case) hacked tomatos (800g) a bit of water

Now let it cook for 45 minutes on low heat. and you are ready to prepare it with the individual layers. For me its sauce, lasagna noodle-layer, crème fraîche with pepper salt and a bit of parmigiano reggiano... and repeat it.
Should look somewhat like this:
