Lasagna might be my favourite food ever. It’s always been my family’s go-to when hosting. I have the fondest memories of my dad making enough to feed 25 people for long Sunday lunches. It’s my ultimate comfort food, and I’m so happy with this version. It’s slightly simplified from my original recipe (you can find it on the blog) and made extra-nourishing and high protein (52g!) to make the perfect weekday lunch. The hardest part will be to wait to dig into it!
