Lansing Chefs Giving Free Lasagnas For National Lasagna Day

Just saying Italian food makes me smile. My mother comes from an Italian family and I grew up with my share of good Italian cooking.  I was fortunate enough to eat things like Gnocci, Ravioli, and some of the best meatballs and Italian sausage. My uncles even made their own wine.

Of course, Lasagna was one of our favorites, and to mix it up Mom would sometimes make it with rice instead of noodles.  She called it baked rice we called it lasagna with rice.  It was amazing. Every Sunday of course was Pasta day in our family.
