Golden Autumn Lasagna with Bongiovi Dad's Original
Golden autumn lasagna: the perfect cozy dinner delight.

Introduction:

When the leaves of the autumn trees take on shades of red and gold and the days grow shorter, it's the perfect time to bring friends and family together for a warm meal. On a rainy evening, when a gentle breeze blows outside, there is hardly anything better than sitting around the table and enjoying a delicious, homemade "Autumn Lasagna." This lasagna tells stories of Italian autumn evenings where colors, flavors, and traditions form a symphony of the senses.

The Origins of Autumn Lasagna

Lasagna, a staple of Italian cuisine, takes us deep into the culinary history of the country. Originally from the Emilia-Romagna region, the dish has changed and evolved over the centuries by incorporating local and seasonal ingredients. In the fall, Italians enjoy using pumpkin, mushrooms, and other seasonal ingredients for their lasagna variations, creating hearty, flavorful dishes that warm the soul and body.

The Iconic Bongiovi Dad's Original Sauce

Bongiovi Dad's Original elevates every lasagna to a new level by bringing in an unusual depth and complexity of flavors. This family recipe, passed down through generations, pays homage to the dedication to quality. One of the most remarkable experiences was a visit to the Bongiovi sauce makers, who shared their passion and commitment to genuine and high-quality ingredients with us. The sauce combines tradition with innovation and offers flavorful enjoyment that is authentic and unadulterated.

Create Your Golden Autumn Lasagna

To conjure up your own autumn lasagna, you will need:

  • 1 pack of lasagna sheets
  • 500g pumpkin, peeled and diced
  • 250g fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 500ml Bongiovi Dad's Original
  • 200g grated Parmesan
  • 500g Ricotta
  • Fresh herbs like thyme and sage

A tip from my Nonna: A splash of olive oil and garlic adds extra depth to the filling. Start by sautéing the pumpkin pieces until tender and browning the mushrooms until golden brown. Layer lasagna sheets, sauce, pumpkin, mushrooms, and Ricotta alternately in a baking dish. Finish with a generous portion of Parmesan. Once baked, your dish will smell irresistible!

Serving Tradition with a Modern Twist

The traditional autumn lasagna can be presented in diverse ways in modern settings. Use flat, wide bowls to reveal the lasagna layers and garnish the plates with a sprig of rosemary. We recommend pairing it with a robust red wine or a fresh salad with arugula and nuts for a complete taste experience.

In Conclusion:

There's hardly a more beautiful way to honor the rich tradition of Italy than through sharing around the table, where you can experience taste, history, and togetherness. Autumn lasagna is more than just a dish: it is an invitation to celebrate tradition, create new memories, and bring a piece of Italy into your daily life.
