This Lasagne al Forno is a classic Northern Italian celebration dish made the traditional way.

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.

Turkey Pasta e Fagioli
I recently posted a review of a local restaurant that features Northern Italian cuisine called L’Incanto.
