Lasagna is a pasta dish that hails from Italy. The plural of Lasagna is “Lasagne”. Most people trace it to Naples, a city famous for all manner of Italian cuisine. There are many variations to making lasagna, but the standard lasagna simply boils down to layers of vegetable, cheese, sauce, and optionally, meat.
Everything from the types of cheese to the kinds of vegetables will alter how this dish tastes, so have fun experimenting.
Health Benefits
Lasagna wouldn’t taste like lasagna without tomatoes. Most lasagnas are made tomato-based sauce, sliced tomatoes, or a combination of the two. Tomatoes contain copious amounts of lycopene, an antioxidant that reduces the levels of free radicals in the body. The lycopene helps defend the body against all manner of cancers: prostate, cervical, stomach, rectum, pharynx, and esophageal cancers just to name a few. The vitamin C present in tomatoes can also help your body recover from illness.
