Lynora’s Celebrates National Lasagna Day 2021 With Half-Priced Lasagna
Palm Beach County, Florida – The origins of National Lasagna Day layer deliciously with over four historical decades of the Abbenante family serving new generations of South Floridians their authentic dishes. On Thursday, July 29th, the family invites everyone to celebrate with their version of lasagna, Pasticcio, half-priced for only $12 during lunch and dinner service.
The ancient Greek word “lasagna” originated from the word “laganon,” the earliest form of pasta — wide and flat. Ancient Romans crafted a similar dish called “lasanum,” which was Latin for “a container or pot.” The dish we all love today got its name more from its cooking method rather than its ingredients. Most Americans visualize the lasagna style that first showed up in the Middle Ages in Naples, Italy, with recipes arriving via our Italian immigrants.
Keeping true to its old-world traditions, Lynora’s lasagna has a Greek name: “Pasticcio.” The wildly craved dish offers a lighter twist on the classic Italian recipe. It features crepe lasagna layers, classic meat-based Bolognese sauce, and fresh mozzarella, topped with a creamy white béchamel sauce.
“This was one of my great-grandmother Lynora’s favorites,” shared co-owner Angelo Abbenante. “Her Pasticcio recipe substitutes thin crepes for pasta, resulting in a lighter dish without compromising flavor,” he said. “She’d love knowing families will enjoy it together.”
