📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Lasagna is a baked layered pasta said to come from Emilia-Romagna, centered on Bologna. Slow-cooked ragù and béchamel made from butter, flour, and milk are layered with pasta sheets and baked until golden. It's a labor-of-love dish made for Sundays and holidays when the family gathers.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At Sunday lunch, it comes out of the oven steaming — the pride of an Italian family table.
