German recipe translation: Does this sound correct? If not - can you help me correct the mistakes?

Question

Hi! I need help translating my lasagne recipe from English into German and Metric. Can anyone please compare the original English and see if I tranlated it into German correctly please? Thanks!

Here is the recipe in English:

2 lbs ricotta cheese

1 lb shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup fresh grated pecorino romano cheese

1 cup fresh grated Asiago cheese

1 cup fresh grated parmesean cheese

2 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup milk

extra virgin olive oil

1 cup onions, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage, casing removed and chopped You can add more sausage if you want - I just don't like to over-power mine or make it 'too meaty'

2 Quarts of "Dianne's Pasta & Tomato Sauce (All purpose tomato sauce for anything)" Or you could just use any sauce from a jar - but mine is better :-)

1 1/2 lbs lasagna noodles

salt and pepper

I will post my German translation in "Additional Details". Please let me know if I got it correct. Thank you!

Answer 1

Hello, your translation sounds good. If you change the words

"zerissener and geraffelter" to "geriebener or geraspelter"

it would sound perfect.

Answer 2

Although an lb is exactly 454 g it won't ruin your recipe if you take a german pound (Pfund) instead which is 500 g or half a kilogram. This is my personal translation of your recipe, using the international metric system:

2 Pfund Ricotta-Käse

1 Pfund kleingeschnittener Mozzarella-Käse

1/2 Pfund (cup = ca. 250 g; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_%28unit... ) frisch geriebener Pecorino-Romano-Käse

1/2 Pfund geriebener Asiago-Käse

1/2 Pfund Parmesan-Käse

2 geschlagene Eier

1/2 Tasse (= ca. 1/4 Liter) Milch

Olivenöl (Extra Vergine)

250 g feingehackte Zwiebeln

3 feingehackte Knoblauchzehen

250 g gewürfelte "italian sausage" (I never heard about "italian sausage" outside the USA; maybe you mean ordinary Salami, but ORIGINAL Salami is mainly made of donkey's and mule's meat, although nowadays usually replaced by pork or beef); nach Belieben / Geschmack (für Fleischliebhaber auch mehr)

2 Liter (a quart is 0.946352946 litres; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quart ) Tomatensoße ["Dianne's Pasta and Tomato sauce" is unknown in Germany]

750 g Lasagne-Nudeln

Salz und Pfeffer
