Lasagna is an Italian dish made of stacked layers of thin flat pasta alternating with fillings such as tomato sauce, ground meat, cheese, and seasonings and spices. The dish may be topped with melted grated mozzarella cheese.
I would put that this is actually a recipe passed down for generations or some sort of generic story about my family and this dish but we've never made lasagna. :p
