On July 29th, 2018, the holiday we didn't know we needed will come: National Lasagna Day. Whether you put chicken between your pasta noodles or veggies between your zucchini noodles, lasagna is an easy meal for day-of and leftovers.
1. Learn the history of lasagna
As the biggest, meatiest pasta known in your local freezer, lasagna is also the first known from of pasta and it's not from Italy! Lasagna originated from Ancient Greece, previously known as 'Laganon,' although it was not the same past we know and love today. Lasagna, the sandwich tower of pasta, refers more to the technique and not the creamy and delightful ingredients inside. The ones who hold the first printed recipe to Lasagna is still not the Italians, but rather the late 14th century British. Though a beautiful part of Italian cuisine, it is a hodgepodge of cultures, just like the ingredients inside.
2. Start your morning by reading Garfield comics
Since 1978, Garfield has been obsessed with lasagna. Today is no different.
Jim Davis, the cartoonist credited for Garfield, created a cat who loves lasagna and hates Monday. While Davis has a reason for his Monday-hating cat - it's a reminder of his repetitive and monotonous life -, he just thought it would be funny for a cat to like lasagna. To his surprise, a lot of cats like lasagna! Garfield is a foodie icon.
Read some comics!
