FRIENDS Monica’s Lasagna Recipe

There are countless awesome food moments in FREINDs, a majority of them thanks to Joey and Monica both of who love to eat and cook. In her early days, Monica would do just about anything to get closer to her dream of becoming a professional chef including running a catering service and trying to come up with a bunch of recipes featuring Mockolate.

When she’s running her catering business, she makes a dozen lasagnes for a relative, not realising that they were supposed to be vegetarian. The relative refuses to take the lasagnes leaving Monica to distribute the lasagnes to just about anyone from Paolo to Carol and Susan.

After watching that episode (which is even called ‘The One With A Dozen Lasagnes) we find ourselves craving some lasagna ourselves. Here’s a recipe inspired by Monica’s delicious cheesy lasagnas; have it for lunch or dinner!
