Lasagna

Lasagna is a type of wide, flat pasta, possibly one of the oldest kinds of pasta. Traditionally, lasagna is the name of a dish made by layering lasagna sheets with various fillings, such as ragù (a meat-based sauce), béchamel sauce, cheese, and vegetables. The dish is then baked in an oven until it becomes bubbly and golden. The term "lasagna" is derived from the Greek lasanon, meaning "chamber pot," and is related to the verb lasainein, meaning "to contain." In Hebrew, lasagna is known as לאזניה (pronounced "la-zan-ya"). In Italian, the singular form is lasagna, while the plural form is lasagne. In French, it is called les lasagnes, and in Spanish, it is referred to as lasaña. Lasagna is a popular dish in many countries and has numerous regional variations, with some versions including ingredients like spinach, ricotta, or even seafood. The dish is often associated with Italian cuisine, but its origins can be traced back to ancient Greece.
