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.
