    “I was feeling greedy when I first made this sandwich. It was the irresistible, forbidden urge to put pasta on bread that made me do it, and my Garfield-like allegiance to lasagne (Garfield technically shouldn’t be alive, because cats can’t have garlic.) There’s something so comforting and so strangely South African about lasagne swept up with a hot slice of supermarket garlic bread and a crunchy salad that really takes me back to a simpler time in my childhood.” – Khanya Mzongwana
