Kick off the weekend with a lasagna dinner party! Serve up our ultra-classic lasagna (made with homemade bolognese and béchamel sauce) — or, try a luxurious vegetarian version, packed with spinach, broccoli and rich Boursin cheese. Then, uncork a bottle of red, grab a few fresh baguettes, and sit down to some deep-dish comfort food.
