This dish was a birthday request from Emilia. In addition to pizza for lunch and spaghetti and meatballs for the Saturday party event, AND the salmon on Sunday, Emilia wanted Lasagne verde on her birthday. The recipe is the classic from Marcella Hazan. The ragu was made with half veal and half beef. Emilia and I made the pasta and we achieved 10 layers before running out of headroom in the pan. This takes some effort, but every time I taste it, I wonder why I don't make it more often. I made this dish the day we brought both Emilia and Annabella home from the hospital.
