Trivia

Lasagna, as stated earlier, originated in Italy in the Emilia-Romagna region. The word lasagna is referred to the pot in which food or lasagna is cooked. The word is derived from the Greek language and in literal sense means ‘chamber pot’.

The earliest lasagna recipes are celebrated from the 13^th century. At that point in time, tomatoes were not known to Europeans which means that they could not have used them in cooking. However, different cheeses were/are used as a substitute.
