ALBANY – Mama Mia!

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has promised to take on the special interests if elected governor, but there’s one fight he won’t get involved with: The food fight between his mom and girlfriend over the best way to make lasagna.

“On this issue I’m going to be very, very careful,” Cuomo told Albany’s Talk 1300-AM Wednesday morning. “Since the campaign started for me…this is the toughest issue I’ve had to deal with.”

Cuomo’s mother, the state’s former First Lady Matilda Cuomo, made headlines when she dismissed the lasagna recipe of her son’s girlfriend, TV chef Sandra Lee. She uses cottage cheese and tomato soup.

Mama Cuomo insists lasagna must have fresh ricotta cheese and red sauce.

The AG refused take a side in the food fight.
