Top Lasagna In South Florida

It is one of the most identified Italian dishes – lasagna. A layered cake of delicious ricotta cheese, meat and sauce, everyone's aunt or mother has a recipe for the classic dish and it can be made vegetarian with eggplant and/or spinach. It can be a meal for a child that rivals spaghetti and meatballs for their favorite and it holds a place as a great microwavable menu item after a hard day's work for mom to prepare. When the lasagna is done just right, the visual picture presented of gooey cheese and layers of meat put together in such a way fills stomachs quickly even before the first forkful is put in the mouth. Around South Florida, there are fantastic restaurants for couples and families that feature the dish in its various forms and promise to make or change the outcome of a night out.
