“This lasagna is massive — they stuck a knife right through the middle. It's like a cake. It smells amazing, packed with flavor, and feels surprisingly light even though it's huge. Honestly, I think it's the best lasagna I've ever had. The smallest portion is huge, so be prepared to take leftovers.”
