Celebrating Your Cheat Meal


lasagna thumb Celebrating Your Cheat Meal If you’re going to indulge in a cheat meal, it doesn’t get any better than this. It’s comfort food loaded with cheese and fat. Welcome to National Lasagna Day!

Lasagna, I have to say, is my absolute favorite indulgence food. I almost have to thank goodness that it is a relatively expensive and labor-intensive meal. I love a good lasagna, but frankly, I don’t relish making it.

My favorite lasagna has whole milk ricotta. Why skimp? If you’re indulging, you’re indulging. My mom used to make it with cottage cheese. I cringe at the thought today. I prefer a meat sauce, rich with ripe tomatoes. There also has to be plenty of mozzarella cheese. Make it part-skim, if that will make you feel any better.

Of course, lasagna is not complete without a good Chianti. You just haven’t eat Italian food without a good wine. It begs for it.

Today is a day for indulging the Italian in you. Enjoy and eat well!
