The name sounds so Italian. But don’t be mistaken. They are British! And whatever you would want to say about British cuisine, the famous beef in mint sauce, please take it back!

This dish is my son’s favorite. Maybe as favorite as the cabbage rolls. Every time we go to a restaurant he wants a lasagne. For his birthday he considered having lasagne instead of a birthday cake! In the end he decided to have the birthday cake at the party, but to have lasagne for dinner
