My thoughts
I didn’t learn til typing out this recipe that there is such a thing as a Christmas Lasagna and that it is a traditional Christmas dish. I will be confirming with my Italian friend if this is true; but back to the recipe. This was so saucy, simple and delicious. The fact that is done stovetop is really the appeal. You can broil the top in the oven if you choose. I did this time but I prefer doing it 100% stovetop to just save me that extra step. Plus you may have leftovers.
