Lasagne

Choose and cook lasagne sheets correctly, understand oven-ready pasta and build layers without dry corners or slippery sauce.

Broad rectangular sheets, flat or occasionally ruffled.
Origin

Layered pasta dishes have deep roots in Emilia-Romagna and other Italian regions, with many local forms.

Texture

Tender layers that absorb sauce while retaining structure.

Cooking

Follow the packet. Oven-ready sheets require enough surrounding sauce, while boiled sheets must be drained separately.

Sauce pairing

  • Beef ragù and béchamel
