The Lasagne Affair: National Lasagne Day

Overview

It's easy to make, it tastes great and it's incredibly versatile. Garfield loves it, too. We'd keep listing reasons that the humble lasagne is one of the best Italian meals there is, but we're certain that we don't need to convince you. Here's another anyway, though: it's an excellent go-to when dinner time hits, you definitely don't want to cook, and you want to tuck into something both hearty and delicious.

Salt Meats Cheese clearly feels the same, because it regularly dedicates a whole night to the Italian staple. And, for National Lasagne Day on Thursday, July 29, it's doing just that again — but it's changing things up a bit. Five different types will be on the menu for $19 each, so you can pick which ones you'd like to try. There'll be a classic bolognese version, a mortadella and pistachio lasagne, and one that heroes fior di latte, padano and truffle paste. For vegans, a mushroom ragu lasagne is on offer as well — and, for dessert, a peanut butter, chocolate pudding and Oreo type will get your tastebuds salivating.

If you're keen to eat in, you'll need to book in advance, given that folks sure do love this dish. SMC's Lasagne Affair is only happening at select venues — so you'll want to make a date with the chain's Newstead and Surfer's Paradise locations from 5pm.

There's also a takeaway option, which means that you can choose however many of the five dishes you'd like and then enjoy them all at home.
