National Lasagna Day is set to be celebrated on Monday, July 29. To honor this popular holiday, RAGÚ has partnered with the global nonprofit Lasagna Love to support their mission of fighting hunger in local communities. This collaboration will feature volunteers from Lasagna Love preparing and delivering homemade lasagnas using RAGÚ Kettle Cooked sauce.
RAGÚ Kettle Cooked sauces are available in a 24-ounce jar at select retailers across the United States. For recipes and more information on where to purchase, visit www.RAGU.com. This partnership aims to reach thousands of community members through volunteer-led events in cities like Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, and Paramus, NJ.
Megan Frank, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Mizkan America, Inc., expressed enthusiasm about the expanded support for Lasagna Love. Frank highlighted that RAGÚ Kettle Cooked Sauces offer a convenient way to add rich, homemade flavors to meals without extensive cooking time or cost. These sauces, available in Roasted Garlic, Marinara, and Tomato Basil flavors, are made from premium ingredients and are Non-GMO Project Verified with no added sugar.
Lasagna Love is celebrating National Lasagna Day by aiming to distribute 10,000 lasagnas. The organization also seeks to acquire 100 new monthly donors, recruit 1,000 new volunteers, and raise $100,000 to support their mission. Andria Larson, executive director of Lasagna Love, emphasized the significance of lasagna as a symbol of hope and dignity for recipients. To date, Lasagna Love has fed more than two million people with the help of 56,000 volunteers across 50 states and three countries.
For those interested in getting involved, more information is available at www.lasagnalove.org. The first 500 new volunteers will receive a welcome kit from RAGÚ and Lasagna Love. The following tips can help make the perfect lasagna:
- Make it easy: Use RAGÚ Kettle Cooked Sauces for a rich, homemade flavor without the need to make sauce from scratch. Other shortcuts like no-boil noodles and pre-shredded cheese can save time.
- Double up: Double the recipe to share with a neighbor or create a taller, extra-cheesy lasagna.
- Cook like a mother: Simple recipes and setting out ingredients beforehand can make preparation easier. Remember, practice improves your lasagna-making skills.
