Rustichella d'Abruzzo - Lasagne

An oldie but goodie, lasagna is mentioned in Medieval texts, and it is even said that the ancient Romans prepared a similar dish. Modern day lasagna comes from Emilia-Romagna, where the traditional recipe includes layers of ragù, béchamel and Parmigiano-Reggiano. But for the lasagna that comes from your house, use any fillings you like, traditional or not. These are long flat lasagne noodles with fluted edges. They do need to be pre-cooked before layering them into a lasagna dish. For a super silky cream or bechamel-based lasagna.
