Good to Go

Lasagna al forno is always ready to go at Marino Ristorante when you need a last-minute takeout dinner. Light in flavor rather than saucy and strong, it’s made with ground beef and veal, ricotta and mozzarella. While the lasagna is being packed, check the counter for other dinner possibilities. One night, a platter of rapini, seasoned with garlic, olive oil and a dash of hot peppers, was also ready to go. The restaurant’s own Italian bread comes with the dinner at no extra charge.

Lasagna al forno, $8.50 per single portion; rapini, $2.50 per single portion, at Marino Ristorante, 6001 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles 90038. (323) 466-9010.
