Etymology

The word 'lasagne' is derived from the Latin word 'lasanum', which means 'container' or 'cooking pot'. This term eventually transformed through Old Italian, and by the mid-14th century, it referred specifically to a dish made with layers of pasta. The dish's origins trace back to Ancient Greece, where a similar dish called 'Laganon', made of layers of pasta and sauce, was first created. Over time, it evolved into the lasagne we know today, particularly in the regions of Italy that are famous for their pasta. The layered preparation became popularized in the 18th century in Emilia-Romagna, a northern region of Italy, where chefs created rich versions of lasagne using bechamel sauce, meat, and various cheeses. Nowadays, lasagne is enjoyed worldwide, with many regional adaptations and variations.
