It's Christmas week, emotions are high, and Clinton Kelly is on a personal mission: redemption. After last week's cookie chaos, Clinton returns to the kitchen with the dish that defines love in his family — rolled lasagna. This is not a weeknight meal. This is a full-commitment, clear-your-schedule, cook-with-intention holiday classic. Inspired by Don Angie in New York City but rooted firmly in Clinton's Italian-American upbringing, this lasagna features slow-cooked bolognese, creamy béchamel, fresh pasta sheets, mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and a simple butter-onion tomato sauce based on Marcella Hazan's iconic method. Everything is layered, rolled, sliced, and baked into individual spirals that deliver perfect balance in every bite. Along the way, Clinton, Carla Hall, and Michael Symon dig into why lasagna is reserved for the people you actually love, the cultural difference between baked ziti and holiday lasagna, and why some dishes are meant to take time. There's also plenty of side conversation — holiday traditions worth keeping (and retiring), the best sandwiches they've ever eaten, ugly sweater debates, and a reminder not to be a "DRIP" at holiday parties. The result? A deeply satisfying dish, a fully redeemed Clinton, and one of the coziest episodes of Chewed Up yet. 👉 Grab the full recipe + more at: https://www.chewedupshow.com/recipes ⏱ Timestamps 00:00 – Holiday chaos, cookie trauma, and Clinton's redemption arc 02:15 – Why lasagna is a "love dish" in Italian-American families 04:45 – Don Angie inspiration and rolled lasagna method 08:30 – Building the bolognese (and why it takes hours) 10:45 – Béchamel, nutmeg, and the butter-onion tomato sauce 12:30 – Rolling, slicing, and assembling the lasagna 15:00 – Baking tips, make-ahead tricks, and freezing options 18:00 – Taste test and final verdict 20:00 – Holiday traditions worth keeping (and retiring) 25:00 – Best sandwiches ever debate 35:00 – Fan giveaway winner 🙌 Special Thanks to Our Sponsors Frontgate → Premium home, kitchen, and entertaining essentials — including Michael Symon's collection featured on the show. https://frontgate.com Señorita → Non-alcoholic, full-flavored THC margarita made with real juice and organic agave. https://www.senoritadrinks.com/discount/CHEWEDUP20 Canopy by Hilton → A lifestyle hotel brand by Hilton focused on local experiences. https://www.hilton.com/en/canopy Casamara Club → Botanical leisure sodas for mindful sipping without the booze. https://www.casamraclub.com 🔗 Production Credits Kitchen Designed by Anthony Carrino → https://anthonycarrino.com Produced by Simple Alien → https://www.simplealien.com/ Camera, Audio and Crew provided by TV Boy → https://tvboynyc.com/ About Chewed Up Three lifestyle icons reunite with zero filter, strong opinions, and even stronger flavors.
