This food holiday celebrates a quintessential Italian pasta dish that originated in Naples during the Middle Ages.

It is mentioned in a 14th-century cookbook described as a dish with layers of pasta but without the tomatoes, which were added to the recipe when they were introduced from the Americas a couple centuries later.

Observed primarily in the USA, Lasagna Day is usually celebrated with meals out at restaurants or a special dish made for family at home.

Look for special deals on lasagna this day at restaurants, grocers, food trucks, and online vendors.
