Lasagna Recipe
About the Dish:
Lasagna is a classic Italian dish made with layers of pasta sheets, meat or vegetable filling, and cheese. It is typically baked in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This hearty and flavorful dish is perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion. The layers of tender pasta, savory filling, and gooey cheese create a delicious and satisfying meal. Lasagna can be customized with different types of fillings, such as ground beef, sausage, vegetables, or a combination of these. The sauce used in lasagna is usually a rich tomato sauce, but white sauce or pesto can also be used. Serve lasagna with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete and delicious meal.
