It may seam strange, but my family has always eaten lasagna on Christmas Eve…only on Christmas Eve.
When I was probably 8 years old I had a play date at my friend Amber’s house where I stayed for dinner.
Amazingly, Amber’s mom served lasagna.
Before I could eat, I begged to call my mom.
The conversation went something like this:
“Hi mom, you won’t believe what we’re eating for dinner tonight!”
“What my darling, most precious, favorite child? What are you eating for dinner tonight?”
“WE’RE EATING LASAGNA, and it’s not even Christmas Eve!!!!”
The special Christmas Eve lasagna recipe comes from the kitchen of my Nana.
This year, lasagna duties were my responsibility.
I made one small batch with fake meat for me and one “true to the recipe” batch with Italian sausage and ground beef for the rest of the family.
My mini-vegetarian lasagna.
Family—sized lasagna.
Lasagna to all and to all a good night!
