Super Easy Lasagne Recipe

I can still remember when I first tasted my very first Lasagna made by my Aunt who was very fond of cooking noodles, pasta and all kinds of Asian food. I must say she is a fabulous cook that I can never get enough of her dishes in one serving.

I derived this original Lasagna recipe from my Aunt's recipe clippings, of course with her acknowledgments.

A lot of people are kinda hesitant to make their own Lasagna recipe due to its complicated Italian origin. But why won't you give it a try just like my Aunt did. I'm sure it would taste much even better.

- Straight from my Aunt's Old Recipe Clippings

Old recipe clippings are really worth saving. Glad I did had the chance to jot down this sumptuous Lasagna recipe that will surely feed your appetite.

Lasagne also known as in the US spelling Lasagna, is a wide and flat type of pasta and possibly one of the oldest shapes. The word also refers to a dish made with this type of pasta. As with most other types of pasta, the word is a plural form, lasagne meaning more than one piece of lasagna ribbon.

Traditionally, the dough was prepared in Southern Italy with semolina and water and in the northern regions, where semolina was not available, with flour and eggs. Nowadays in Italy, since the only type of wheat allowed for pasta is durum wheat, lasagne are made of semolina (from durum wheat) and eggs.

The author of the book Maria Bruscino Sanchez has a secret: she's just wild about lasagna.

She just can't get enough of that hearty deep-dish Italian favorite, stuffed with juicy fillings, sauced to perfection and bubbling over with cheesy goodness. But she also knows she's not alone.
