How to Make Lasagna

Description

Lasagna is a classic Italian dish made by layering wide, flat pasta sheets with rich fillings such as ground meat cooked in tomato sauce (ragù), creamy béchamel, and a blend of cheeses like mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan,

then baking until bubbly and golden. The layers create a hearty, savory combination of flavors and textures, making each bite deliciously satisfying and comforting. Typically cut into squares or rectangles for serving, lasagna is widely loved for its warm, cheesy, and flavorful nature.
