I have no problem with lasagna for dinner; "huge" is the
problem.

So I make one small modification - I share the standard
restaurant serve with my wife. If the restaurant has a
problem with providing an extra plate and cutlery to do
that, she orders the lasagna and I order a small green salad
- and then we split both between us.

There have been restaurants where we still left some of the
enormous serves on our plates after sharing.

You've reminded me - that's one recipe I haven't posted on
the blog. Must do that.

Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.
