Lasagne al Forno (Northern Italian Style)

This Lasagne al Forno is a classic Northern Italian celebration dish made the traditional way. Slow-simmered ragù, silky béchamel, fresh pasta sheets and Parmigiano-Reggiano layered into pure comfort. After years of experimenting with lighter and gluten-free versions, this Christmas we went all-in on the real deal: rich, delicate and deeply savory. It’s a labor of love, but the result is the kind of lasagna that melts into one perfect bite.

Hot Italian Sausage, Fennel and Caramelized Onion Pizza

I love the Sausage Fennel and Caramelized Onion Pizza at The Lazy Goat restaurant. I made a similar version at home, adding a thin layer of tomato sauce and using hot Italian sausage, fennel seeds, and Fontina cheese.
