to check out our recipe for One-Pan Lasagna. Super easy and delicious!

July 29 is
National Lasagna Day
Mmm, lasagna! Do you like it with Italian sausage or ground beef? Or do you prefer vegetarian lasagna? Ricotta cheese or cottage cheese? Do you like to cook the noodles first or use them right out of the box?

Of course, there are lasagna purists. I think it depends on who you learned from when you were learning to cook. Either way, make/order/buy some lasagna today and celebrate!

Happy National Lasagna Day!
