Lasagna
Authentic Italian lasagna, meat lasagna with bechamel sauce is a healthy pasta that is one of the most popular Italian dishes around the world.
If you come to Rome and happen to eat in one of those typical tourist restaurants close to Piazza di Spagna or Colosseum, pay attention to how many of this tasty dish are served around you. Usually these restaurants are tailored for tourists, but I assure you that if you order this traditional Italian dish ... you will have a good lunch!
The first pasta in Italy was called langane.
In some small cities, people use to call it as pasta al forno that means pasta made in the oven. It's usually cooked on Sundays or in any special date.
The dough used for its basis is the simplest one, the same used to tagliatelle and ravioli, using flour and water. It just has a larger shape. It can be done at home easily, but there are also very good brands that are used by the old Italian mammas that give excellent results.
As most of the people don't do it at home, what really means now is its seasoning. The new cuisine opened traditional dishes to new matches, allowing such a traditional plate to be seasoned using artichokes or pesto instead of tomato sauce.
