I think that, when it comes to Italian food abroad, lasagne comes second only to pizza in popularity, and it’s easy to understand why: this comforting, flavorsome dish is very versatile and adaptable, and it’s perfect to be made in batches and frozen, so it’s also a great option if you are the busy type, whether you have a family or not. 

The concept of lasagne can be traced back to ancient culinary traditions: in Ancient Greece, there was a dish known as laganon, made from flat, unleavened bread dough sliced into strips. While this wasn’t lasagne in the modern sense, it introduced the fundamental idea of layering ingredients.
