National Lasagna Day

National Lasagna Day is celebrated annually on July 29th, drawing together fans of this delicious dish from all over. Its origin is not linked to any specific historical event or individual, but rather emerged as part of a broader trend in the United States to recognize and celebrate beloved foods through designated food holidays. Lasagna, which has its roots in Italy, became widely popular in American cuisine because of its hearty and comforting layers of pasta, cheese, meat, and rich sauce. National Lasagna Day was created to honor this iconic and much-loved dish, encouraging people to enjoy, appreciate, and share recipes of both traditional and innovative lasagna variations. The day serves as a cultural acknowledgment of the notable Italian-American culinary influence and the special comfort food status that lasagna holds in many households across the country.
