Build the Perfect Lasagna with UFCW-made products

Toronto – June 25, 2025 – Few dishes say comfort and togetherness like a warm, cheesy slice of lasagna. Whether it’s a weekend family dinner, a potluck favourite, or your go-to meal prep classic, lasagna is a crowd-pleaser that gets even better when made with care—and with UFCW-made ingredients produced right here in Canada.

Start with the backbone of any good lasagna: the pasta. For perfectly textured lasagna sheets that hold their shape and soak up every bit of flavour, look no further than Primo Pasta or Unico Pasta, proudly made by UFCW Canada members. These pastas bring a firm, yet tender bite to your layered masterpiece.

Next comes the rich, meaty filling. Choose quality ground beef from J&L Beef or Atlantic Beef Products, or mix it up with flavourful Maple Lodge Farms Poultry, Olymel Poultry, Exceldor Poultry, Britco Pork or duBreton Organic Pork. These premium meats are prepared by skilled union members and provide a hearty base with just the right amount of richness.

For that classic tomato flavour, nothing beats Primo Tomato Sauce, Unico Tomato Sauce, or Antico Organic Pasta Sauce. Slow-simmered and robust, these sauces—crafted with pride by UFCW members—add the perfect tang and depth to each bite of lasagna.

No lasagna is complete without the cheese. Top and layer generously with Allegro, Natrel, or ANCO Cheeses—all made with care by union workers. Add creamy richness with Boursin or Lactantia for a gourmet touch. Don’t forget the finishing layer of mozzarella or parmesan-style cheese for that golden, bubbling top that makes lasagna irresistible.

To bind the flavours and give your dish a delicate texture, use Burnbrae Farms Eggs in your ricotta blend or béchamel sauce. Their freshness ensures every layer is velvety and full of body.

Want to complete the meal? Pair your lasagna with warm Villaggio Bread or Bon Matin, ideal for soaking up extra sauce.
