Don't I wish! Instead, we're settling for Ms. Crocker's rendition of baked lasagna. I don't know a whole lot about food history. Heck, I don't know if lasagna is actually an Italian dish. I do know that it contains the things we love; tomotoes, cheese and pasta. The recipe is a part of the section… Continue reading A visit to Italy
