LASAGNA

Lasagna, perhaps the ultimate Italian comfort food, is a specialty at Ditali's Pizza in Belle Chasse. Nicole's Italian Cuisine claims a 100-year-old family recipe from Italy baked with three meats, five cheeses and noodles layered with homemade red gravy. Gio's Pizza and Spaghetti House features a heavenly four-layer meat lasagna with stuffed ricotta and mozzarella cheeses along with angel hair pasta and Gio's red gravy. The twice-baked Lasagna Della Casa at Tony Moran's comes carefully prepared with meat, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses and creamy spinach baked together. The Olive Branch Café prepares a lasagna layered with beef, seasonings, marinara sauce and cheese. Tiramisu Café layers its lasagna Bolognese with ricotta, Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses plus meat sauce and béchamel.
