Home-Made Authentic Italian Lasagna Is The Best

Looking for a detour from the traditional Italian pastas and pizzas? Maybe a wholesome serving of authentic lasagne can satisfy your cravings. Layers of flavorsome sauce made with tomato puree, veggies, and cheese mixed with pasta sheets, that’s how any Italian cuisine connoisseurs would sum up lasagne.

Popularly known to be originating from Naples, Italy, the traditional recipe actually belongs to Greece. Adapted from the word ‘laganon’ which means flat dough sliced into strips, the traditional lasagne has gone through a number of changes. While the original Italian lasagne was made with ragù, béchamel and Parmigiano-Reggiano spread between layers of pasta, over the years many versions with a twist have come up.  

Here is our simplified version of this Italian delicacy.
