Etymology

The word 'lasagna' originates from the Latin term 'lasanum', which referred to a cooking pot. The dish itself has its roots in Ancient Greece, where a layered dish called 'Laganon' was made with layers of pasta and various fillings. Over time, this concept evolved into what we now recognize as Italian lasagna. In Italy, lasagna became a staple dish, particularly in the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Campania. The dish gained popularity in the United States in the early 20th century, particularly among Italian immigrants. Today, lasagna is enjoyed worldwide and has countless variations, with ingredients and recipes that differ from region to region.
