One of the most popular baked dishes around the world is lasagna. The dish, which has been around for years was included in the first ever printed cookbook in Europe. The word lasagna originated from the dish in which the meal was cooked. The dish is popular because of its taste and versatility. While traditionally the dish was layered with cheese, meat and spaghetti sauce, today there are different ways to cook lasagna, and the differenttypes are only limited by ones imagination. There are some healthy alternatives as well.

Lasagna is a popular oven-baked pasta dish. The classic lasagna, if such a dish can be said to exist, is based on a meat and tomato ragu and a bechamel sauce. These are layered between sheets of pasta dough (two or three layers for a lasagna) in an oven dish, covered with cheese (usually parmesan or mozzarella) and baked in the oven for about half an hour.
