Suggested Drinks

Chianti Classico: A medium-bodied red wine with notes of cherry, plum, and spice. Chianti Classico pairs beautifully with the rich tomato sauce and earthy flavors of the lasagna.

Pinot Grigio: A light and crisp white wine with citrus and floral notes. Pinot Grigio complements the creamy tofu ricotta and balances the acidity of the tomato sauce.

Non-Alcoholic Option

Sparkling Raspberry Lemonade: The tartness of raspberries and lemons cuts through the richness of the lasagna, while the bubbly texture adds a festive touch.
