Lasagna – Reinvented
You know Lasagna. 😉
It is that extremely popular and delicious Italian pasta dish, a classic comfort food if there ever was one, that typically consists of layers of wide, flat pasta sheets alternating with various savory fillings and sauces including ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, hearty meat sauces and sometimes vegetables like spinach or mushrooms. The layers are typically seasoned with herbs such as basil and oregano.
Lasagna is assembled in a baking dish and then baked in the oven until the pasta is tender and the top layer is browned and bubbly.
Olive Garden makes a wonderful Classic Lasagna. As does Buca di Beppo, Maggiano’s Little Italy and Old Spaghetti Factory (Yes, those are links to the recipes) as well as many other restaurants. But Olive Garden has gone a step further.
Olive Garden has reinvented Classic Lasagna.
With their Lasagna Fritta, Olive Garden has made Classic Lasagna into an Appetizer. Or, if you like, a great Party Food, by taking the goodies – ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses – and wrapping them in the lasagna noodles and then deep frying them to crispy, gooey perfection.
Olive Garden Lasagna Fritta is a flavorful and indulgent twist on traditional lasagna that you can eat with your hands.
