Make your Plans Now for July 29th: National Lasagna Day

What better way to add some spice to an otherwise boring Wednesday in July than with some lasagna? This most famous of Italian dishes and Garfield’s (the cat, not the president) favorite meal is also the perfect family meal…I mean, who doesn’t love lasagna?

And best of all, it can be personalized by simply adding, subtracting or replacing some of the traditional ingredients. For example, one could use ground beef, Italian sausage, chicken, pork (mmmmm, bacon) or kielbasa (there’s even a recipe out there that includes ground moose!). You could also decide to skip meat altogether for the vegetarians in your life.

As for cheeses, you’re only limited by your imagination. Here are a few choices: ricotta, mozzarella, parmesan, Monterey jack, Romano, asiago or provolone. And for you cheese lovers out there, you could combine all seven of the above cheeses into one lasagna dish if you so desire.

As with cheeses, there are a myriad of vegetables you could choose from as well, even if there are no vegetarians sitting at your table. Some of the

more popular choices are spinach, carrots, eggplant, mushrooms (although they’re neither a vegetable, nor a fruit. Hell, they’re not even considered a plant), onions, garlic, peppers and radishes.

There is one downside to National Lasagna Day, however. And that is the fact that it’s in July! I mean who wants to heat up an already hot kitchen by cranking the stove up to 425 for two hours?
