Lasagne became a format as well as a regional dish
Italy contains many layered-pasta traditions, and Bologna's green lasagne has a documented reference recipe. Roasted vegetable lasagne belongs to the later international life of lasagne as a flexible casserole format; it is not presented as lasagne alla Bolognese without meat.
Roasting solves a modern vegetable version's central problem by removing water before assembly. Sheets then divide concentrated vegetables, tomato and béchamel into stable layers. The dish shows how a historic pasta form can support new fillings without every variation claiming the same regional history.
