It’s absolutely true that you can taste the difference in food made with love. If that’s not something you’ve experienced before, the Lasagna Classica at Terra Mia Cucina Italiana in Draper will fill the gaping hole in your heart — and stomach.
The recipe dates back at least two generations, handed down from grandmother to grandson (the restaurant’s owner) — both native Italians. With six layers of noodles, various cheeses and a hearty Bolognese that takes six hours to make, the casserole hit every marker perfectly. Eating it, you almost feel like part of their family.
