What is lasagna?

A lasagna is a layered pasta dish using wide flat noodles where each sheet is blanketed with alternating layers of rich meat tomato sauce and creamy white sauce and topped with stretchy mozzarella cheese. This dish is commonly baked in an oven until the cheese on top has melted and browns slightly but you can also try it in smaller baking dishes that fit in your toaster oven or even air fryer!
