However, not everyone was on board with the new food trend. Others were turned off by the use of lower-end ingredients like string cheese and jar sauce, with one person joking, “Somewhere an Italian watched this and cried out in pain” (via PopSugar). Another social media user even reposted the recipe to Twitter, calling it “absolutely cursed” and saying “everyone calling this basically Lasagna proves that they have never actually had Lasagna alla Bolognese” (via Insider). However, fans of the dish came to its defense, calling the criticism “elitist and snobby.”
There’s no doubt, the dish is unlikely to be mistaken for take out from a fancy Italian restaurant. But it looks saucy and satisfying, and can be made with ingredients that are probably already in your house. So if you like cheesy pasta, and aren’t a snob about the sauce, it might be worth trying the unique honeycomb pasta cake for yourself before you render your final judgement.
