Lasagna Recipe

This is the perfect lasagna recipe that pleases even the pickiest eaters time after time. There are so many different types of lasagna recipes as well as many diverse variations of the beloved Italian favorite. The dish did originate in Italy, not the rumored British Isles. The word is derived from the Greek word lasana or lasonon, which refer to the cooking pot rather than the pasta dish we’re all so fond of. The reason why it’s so popular has to do with the use of cheese, ricotta and mozzarella in this case. The classic trio of garlic, oregano and basil found throughout Italian cuisine and in this lasagna recipe, plays a major role as well. Enjoy
