cheese lasagna, meatballs, garlic bread and side salad
|
Not particularly "real food," but I figured I'd document how I make Christmas lasagna.
My family of origin is half Italian, so we always had manicotti and stuffed shells for Christmas. When I grew up and had a kid, I decided to do something similar. We always had leftover turkey in the freezer still, so no sense doing another anyway.
But being a lazy sort, I decided ricotta in pasta would be much simpler with lasagna noodles than stuffing manicotti shells. So that is what I was aiming at with my lasagna; it's not traditional with bolognese sauce and ragu. I made a pot of meatballs and sweet Italian sausage on the side. I was going for a cheesy ricotta thing here.
