Reunion with an Italian Family Dinner

Saturday, April 6th, 2019. My host family and I had a family dinner at our house. It was just four of us, having a conversation about our day, while you could hear the sound of the cooling fan of the oven and outside the noise of the cars passing out into the street. When I was comfortable in my seat and when the food is being served, everyone got excited to taste it. T

The food that we ate that night was a Lasagna with the filling of meat, ricotta and tomato sauce. We usually cook all together during the weekend an Italian National dish because I’m Italian and I like to let them try some real italian recipes and dish that I know since I was little from my grandma and mom cuicine.

The dish was presented inside a roasting pan, already cut into pieces so everyone can get easily their own piece.

Before I started to eat it, I could easily smell the scent of the meat and the ricotta mixed together. The food was hot, some layers of the Lasagna were white, others were red, and the top was cheesy because of the mozzarella putted on top of it.

When I started to eat the dish, the texture of the Lasagna was really soft and it felt like it was melting in your mouth while you were eating it.

In that instant I was really enjoying the moment of this time of the day, when everyone come back home from a long day, maybe even nice, or very tiring. The dish was really tasty and all of us was enjoying it.
