what else to do with left over lasagna? only a hint of sauce, but lots more cheese. can be other types of cheese. verticle cut the lasagna slices to get more cheese in the layers. also works great with eggplant lasagna.

certainly did not. lasagna noodles are just flat dried pasta, maybe with some ripples on the edges. they are usually semolina plus a bit of water and salt. would have to be soaked or boiled to get them to serviceable.

I think that if cordelli sees this thread he will very likely just quit FT... 
And no, EastBay, that does not sound good, except for as 3am drunk food, or perhaps as a high-energy ski snack. But why would you do this to yourself?

1) I believe the noodles would be boiled first, then breaded and fried.
2) Despite what has happened to poor old fettucine alfredo outside of Italy in recent times, there is properly no such thing as "alfredo sauce." Genuine fettucine alfredo has butter and cheese, but no cream or, worse yet, cream substitutes such as the "milkfat solids" that show up in jarred versions.
3) To answer the OP: I vote for "disgusting." Is this from the Olive Garden or something? Sure sounds like it.

Everything is better fried. Now just slap that baby on a stick, put the alfredo sauce in a cup for dippin', and you've got yourself a State Fair contest entry.

Bingo! I saw some Olive Garden commercial and I decided to go online and peruse their wine list out of morbid curiosity. Then I perused their disgusting menu and saw that the dinner entrees were priced way out of line with what I expected. (My last trip to one of these fine dining establishments was when Mr. Clinton was still a White House resident.)

I made a potato lasagna with spanikopita style filling for Turkey day. Some people would call it a potato cheese haute dish. Grandma would call it a potato, spinach, kale and cheese casserole.
