OMG!!! I have been waiting for this lasagna recipe for like a decade (whenever Laura made her last meat lasagna). She mentioned that her Nonna had her making these tiny meatballs in the old lasagna video and I've been waiting every since. Love you Laura!!

[@allyblondie6204]

I remember this episode! She said it in the same tone in this video “teeny teeny tiney meatballs” and she said “cause she she had me to do it” 🤣. Classic episode!

[@shaynafitzsimmons8432]

ME TOO!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!

[@cljtx55555]

Yes same! Sinds the classic meat and cheese lasagna i was like when is nonna's lasagna coming!

[@a.blanco7680]

[@rlssj]

I made Nonna's lasagna for last night's early Christmas dinner (made it a day ahead) It was very good!! The meatballs were so tasty!! Thank you, Laura.

This is hands down my favorite recipe of yours Laura. So much of this takes me back to my grandmother! Love seeing Wine in Tomato sauce, in my house that was a must.

[@kacimills3025]

You're so stinking adorable!! I'm making this for dinner tonight! Thank you!! ❤️😘

[@maryamzizi13]

I love you so much Laura ❤️❤️

[@ashleybunify]

Hi Laura. I want to make this for my daughter's birthday. Do I put it in the fridge after cooking it for the next day? Also how do I reheat it please? Oven? Microwave? I would really appreciate an answer please :)

[@MsTwilightgirl94]

Looks yummy 🤤🤤, I'm going to have try next time I make lasagna.

What’s that olive oil bottle you’re using??

[@janicedonahue7084]

Can you also make mini sausage balls to go with the meatballs?

[@nidahasan2676]

Can u use like a mini ice cream scoop or melon baller for those mini meat balls?! :D

Se aceptan los cambios pero nooooo tu canción de abrir el vídeo 😥 era muy característico de Laura

[@TheGlamorousLifeofNae]

Laura!! Heyy! 💖💖

[@jafallica]

You don’t put onions in your meatballs? There’s no oregano or parsley in your Nonna sauce? What kind of tomato purée do you use?

[@vincenzosplate]

Nonna Lasagna is always a winner. You never go wrong with it. Lasagna must be on my christmas table 😍

We finally get your nonna’s lasagna!! We have waited for soo long to see you make the tiny meatballs 😂😂

[@ImperialRis]

That's different.. I make a meat sauce for lasagna. I never seen this before.. cute!..I make my little meatballs for wedding soup on a cookie sheet. It's quick and easy.

[@Tina-ol1kh]

Hey Laura! Can you do an updated recipe of your Apple Pie from 10 years ago? Would love to see it. 💜🥧

[@michaelvitale4029]

The meatballs are cute. My mother never did that. I think she just browned the ground beef loose, and spooned that in. You’ve inspired me to tackle lasagna. I’ve always avoided all that work and just soothe my lasagna desires in restaurants. Now I wanna try it. 😉🇮🇹

[@dicknodnfs]

Heritage matters and when you cook Nonna's recipes it's proof of respect for that heritage. Well done.

[@Curlygirl1984]

Who else follows Laura on TikTok! 🙋🏻‍♀️😋I’ve been following for years Laura! Love your cooking! 😋

[@leyabelleh9180]

Girl you posted this after I already made my lasagna sauce 1 hour ago, but don’t worry I used your other lasagna recipe from like 9 years ago!

[@btomas225]

Happy to se her shut the 'Bechamel' crowd down...I've seen many (mostly the offspring of Italian grandparents) argue that only ignorant Americans make lasagna without Bechamel! So wrong! Laura is making lasagna very close to, if not exactly as my grandma made it.

[@nattym6959]

❤️❤️ yummmmm looks so delicious! Just reading “Nonna’s recipe” and I know it’s gonna be oh mighty delicious😍😍 Like everything you share with us❤️❤️ Hope your Nonna, you and your family are all doing well!!

Havent even watched it yet, already know its gonna be good 🤤🤤 Thank you for always sharing all your amazing recipes with us 👌🙏

[@a.mckenny6545]

This makes me so happy! lol My grandma, also from Naples, made lasagna similarly. GIANT platters of teeny tiny meatballs ( that was the kids' job eventually :) ) It was so special and typical for the holidays. Sometimes she chopped up little teeny tiny pieces of ham or salami, too. I have not made it like this is years and years but I think I will this year. This was so fun to watch !:) God Bless xoxo

[@ancledoidoi1102]

Dude what, I literally just watched a video from like 8 years ago and she’s s still as beautiful as back then 😭😭 Also your recipes look amazing, I’m keen to give them a try!

[@AlmightyAphrodite]

I was wondering if it is still warm after an hour of resting? And how would you reheat the next day? Oven? Would you undercook it the day before so the pasta doesnt overcook? I prefer all my pastas quite firm and aldente, so thats why I was wondering about that. I do love these ingredients and setup, I know some people throw loads of veggies and stuff in their lasagna but that just isnt for me, all those weird textures in there... love just the sauce, those lovely little meatballs and all the right cheeses 🥰

[@rebeccarobbins5793]

i would NOT let this set for an hour

[@AlmightyAphrodite]

@@rebeccarobbins5793 I would think it would be cold by then. Thats why I would love to hear from Laura how that would work. Reheat, or possible keep warm in the oven? I dont think they would eat it cold... Also, the lasagna my mom makes is best fresh from the oven. I really don't like that the next day, since the sauce is pretty much dried out and the pastasheets just mushy 😶

[@melisathorne7283]

I made this last weekend and it was delicious. Especially the tiny meatballs

[@angelamarcinkevich9202]

Laura will you make this gir Christmas, we make my Nonnie's sauce and meat ravioli

[@patrickmckinley6679]

Hi 👋 Angela, how are you doing?

[@mariadavola]

im sicilian and we too prefer ricotta to bechamel my sister in law is from piedmonte and they use fresh pasta and bechamel i've made with fresh pasta too but still no bechamel prefer ricotta its a question of taste you all can decide what you prefer and make it that way both ways are right.

[@marysmith6566]

I bought a locally made lasagna that had cinnamon and clove in it. Why? Why do some people do that? My brain was thinking it was desert and rejecting it. I can’t wait to make this one. Looks so delicious!

[@cathyarsenault5120]

well i made it and it was totally delicious!!!! Thanks Laura, your nonna is wonderful!!

[@christopherluvsaidan67]

This is what we call lasagne alla Napoletana. Let's just say this is a lighter version of the original recipe. The original recipe calls for Ragu alla Napoletana which takes 8 hours to make.

[@squishykrishy_]

Try a dash of Angostura Bitters and Cinnamon Powder to your pancake mix and fry in Ghee!

[@nilondra]

I have never seen a lasagna prepared in this way 😳 so the milk or cream that is added to the meat sauce of the traditional lasagna while it cooks doesn't apply here???

[@patrickmckinley6679]

Hi 👋 Brenda, can I talk to you for a moment?

[@interestedobserver9352]

Looks so good! If you bake it the day before and refrigerate, how long do you have to bake the next day to warm through? And doesn't it dry out too much baking it twice?

[@suesolomon3290]

I kept waiting for her to mention that. I generally re-heat lasagna in the microwave. But I wouldn't want to do that for the whole thing.

[@TelasDiary]

Made seafood lasagna for Thanksgiving making Eggplant Lasagna for Chritmas

[@nrocha137]

Looks delicious, I'm gonna need to take a page from Nonna's book and put my 3 kids to do meatballs 😊

[@haldana81]

I can’t to make this for a birthday dinner. If I bake it the day ahead, what’s the best time/temperature to reheat it at? Thanks!

[@zahireenk513]

This looks so yummy!!!! That seems like a lot of sauce though….anyone make it with less sauce?

If you don’t want wine in your food, don’t eat Italian.

I always cook my little meatballs for wedding soup in the oven on a cookie sheet.

[@mariadavola]

i too prefer passata to whole tomatoes i dont like pieces of tomatoes in my sauce i prefer a smooth tomato sauce my mom always used a food mill when she would use canned whole tomatoes and i do the same we even make our own passata every year

[@elva66]

Omg... This reminds me of my childhood so much. Whenever my mom or my grandma made Turkish meatball soup I had to help to make the meatballs. They were about the same size as the ones you made. It took forever but boy it was good!

[@Nanichaa]

Hi Laura, this looks amazing! I’m definitely going to make this. At what temp and for how long will it take to reheat if I cook it the day before. I think that will make the holiday more enjoyable for me, thanks!

I never use meatballs in lasagna but i hear thats how theyre supposed to be done. I like having the ground beef in a single layer but there is something about the tiny meatballs that feel special.
