I don’t see any ricotta in that picture. It needs ricotta.

Mmmmm . . . lasagna.

[SauronOfMordor]

Lasagna is a lot of work.

Baked ziti is easier.

Although my wife makes a good “poor man’s lasagna”: cook some ravioli, fill baking dish with it, top with sauce and cheese, stick in oven until cheese is bubbling.

We have our pasta on Christmas. We’re old enough that we go elsewhere for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Privilege of being over 70 and having a small home.

Both of my parents grew up in Brooklyn, so, yeah.

“Italian cooks successfully resisted do-gooders trying to Americanize their food habits.”

“Do-gooders”?? Italians love turkey and trimmings. We also love spaghetti and lasagna. We can multi-task, just like the Chinese and Irish who mix their own favorite courses with the turkey and dressing. It’s not that big of a deal.

I am not Italian myself but my great aunt was immigrated from Sicily when she was 18 and she used to make traditional Sicilian food. I was too young to appreciate it at the time being around 8 or so at the time. I didn’t appreciate her cooking the time because American kids only like very bland food but I wish I could go back in time and enjoy her cooking now.

Heck, there's a case for Ring Dings and Pepsi. Just so there's also turkey.

[McGruff]

That’s un-American!

[MomwithHope]

7 fishes dinner ping to you!

[Albion Wilde]

Some of my Italian-American neighbors used to stuff the turkey with ravioli. I’m not lying.
