Italian Lasagne

Lasagne is an Italian pasta dish. The pasta is flat and wide and is placed within a dish. The pasta sheets are commonly layered between such things as sauces, vegetables, proteins and cheeses. This is a personal choice, however the most popular is a tomato based sauce. The pasta sheets can be hand made with such ingredients as water, flour and milk or can be store purchased.

'Lasagne originated in Italy, traditionally ascribed to the city of Bologna, where the first modern recipe was created and published and became a traditional dish.' 'Il libro della cucina del sec. XIV'

Due to the popularity of the recipe, many restaurants now give the option of lasagne in vegetarian and meat choices. This has been further incorporated within shopping centres and supermarkets to sell this as a frozen alternative.
