Nobody would believe it if you told them my lasagna was frozen.

—Granny to David ^src

Granny's Lasagna is a dish featured on ABC's Once Upon a Time. It first appears in the seventh episode of the second season.

History

After First Curse

As the first full moon since the Dark Curse was broken approaches, Ruby is afraid that she will turn into a wolf. With her grandmother, she improvises a cage out of the diner's freezer. When David wonders what the two of them are doing, Ruby jokingly asks if he knows anyone who'd want thirty-eight lasagnas, since they were emptying the freezer, to which Granny adds that no one would believe if they knew her lasagnas were frozen. ("Child of the Moon")

Having being accepted by the dwarves as one of their own, Anton is dropped by his fellow brothers and David at the diner after a day of work at the bean fields. Leroy instructs him to rent a room from Granny, who he claims to make a mean lasagna. ("Tiny")

Mr. Gold approaches David at the diner to get advice about how to deal with Belle's memory loss, and David finds ironic that Gold came to get his help, to which the pawnbroker replies that he has not gone to Granny's for the overpraised lasagna. ("Lacey")

After Second Curse

After their journey back from Neverland, David and Mary Margaret have lunch at the diner and he points out that the lasagna has never tasted that good. ("The New Neverland")

Learning that her sister wants revenge, Regina and her friends gather at the diner and discuss what could be the witch's motivations. Granny remarks that Regina might have done something against Zelena during the missing year which they have no memory about, but the mayor simply dismisses her by telling her to stick to the lasagna. ("It's Not Easy Being Green")

Before Third Curse

When the diner is taken away to the Enchanted Forest by a cyclone, there is some lasagna in the fridge, some of which Henry manages to heat for his date with Violet. However, before the dish is even served, Violet tells Henry that they should remain only friends. ("Dreamcatcher")

After Third Curse

While in New York City, Emma gets a text from Granny about Zelena, Snow, Hook and David being sucked by a portal. As Regina asks for clarification on what exactly happened, Emma replies that Granny is an expert on lasagna, not magic. ("An Untold Story")

After Fourth Curse

After the Final Battle is won, the heroes gather at Granny's Diner to celebrate. Among the dishes served, there are two of Granny's lasagnas. The scene with Emma, Hook, Henry, Regina, Mr. Gold, Belle, Gideon, Snow, David, Neal, Zelena, Robin and Granny at the table is later pictured as an illustration in Henry's novel. ("The Final Battle Part 2")

Production Notes

• According to Edward Kitsis, the lasagna is half-off at the diner on Friday nights. ("Dark Swan Rises: A Once Upon a Time Fan Celebration")
  • Additionally, Adam Horowitz stated that many confraternization scenes at Granny's were shot on Friday nights and "the lasagna may be fake, but the fun is real". ("Dark Swan Rises: A Once Upon a Time Fan Celebration")
• A picture posted by Adam Horowitz on Instagram, shows the lasagna pictured on the diner Daily Specials board. The board says "Granny's “ultimate” lasagne".
