QUINCY (CBS) – It started with lasagna dinners for friends, mostly restaurant workers, who lost their jobs due to the pandemic.

When Nicky Bandera started Project Paulie on March 24, she originally thought she would make 20 lasagna dinners. She was far off. Nine months later, she’s helped distribute 2,500 meals to those in need.

“My family owns an Italian deli on Cape Cod. I kind of grew up whenever there were issues you would bring people food,” Bandera said.

“We were making them all out of our house,” she said. “We were waking up at 5 o’clock in the morning every day. Making fresh sauce. Fresh lasagna. Because for us- we were like if we’re going to do this, we’re going to do it the way we would cook it for our family.”

“We received a lasagna from Nicky. It was just a beautiful kind of highlight to a day and made an otherwise crummy time kind of smiley.”

How good is her lasagna? Is it worth my crazy leftwing brother-in-law having an “accident”?

Stouffer’s is OK, I like their stuffed peppers.
Add a dash of hot sauce..

We used to be able to get awesome takeout lasagne.

But NYS pols put the restaurant out of biz.

Looks like this is one more dish I’ll have to add to my repertoire.

Stouffer’s stuffed peppers are almost the same as my mother’s were.
