Lasagna (singular, pronounced [la'za?a] in Italian; plural lasagne pronounced [la'za?e]) is both a form of pasta in sheets (sometimes rippled, though seldom so in Italy) and also a dish, sometimes named lasagne al forno (meaning "oven-cooked lasagne") made with alternate layers of pasta, cheese, and often ragù (a meat sauce) or tomato sauce. The word lasagna, which originally applied to a cooking pot, now simply describes the food itself.[1] Most English-speaking people follow the Italian usage and use the plural "lasagne" to refer to both the dish and the pasta, but Americans commonly use the singular "lasagna". For example, "Weird Al" Yankovic (an American singer and songwriter) used this spelling for his song "Lasagna", which is as a parody of "La Bamba". Various recipes call for several kinds of cheese, most often ricotta and mozzarella. The classic Lasagne alla Bolognese uses only Parmigiano Reggiano. Many recipes also add béchamel sauce (besciamella). A variant is Lasagne verde (green lasagne) which is the normal egg pasta with spinach added. Other variations include vegetarian or seafood versions of the dish. This concept is acknowledged by the writers of the Seinfeld episode called "The Butter Shave", in which "Vegetable Lasagna" was the nickname given by Elaine Benes to the airline passenger next to her.

1. A Little Background To My Italian Recipes
August 30, 2008
The recipe of all Italian recipes that was the most called for from my mother’s kitchen was her lasagna. I’m not sure, maybe it was the area of Italy her family was from, but her lasagna didn’t consist of just tomato sauce, pasta and ricotta cheese mixture. It began as always with tomato sauce on the bottom and amid lasagna noodles, of course. But between the lasagna noodles were layered sliced meatballs, sliced sausage, slice hard-boiled eggs (yes, you read it right), sliced mozzarella cheese, and then the final layer of the ricotta cheese mixture which consisted of ricotta, grated parmesan, ...

5. Unique Challenges for Women in Business
November 04, 2005
I’ve been in private practice for almost 10 years, now. I am living my dream; I do what I love to do, the hours I work are the hours I choose to work, and I can often take time off to play with my family or enjoy a friend, if I wish.
But, as most self-employed people, I’m a hard boss, and as a female small business owner, I have much more to do than just ‘work’. As I type this, I am also making lasagna so my husband has something he enjoys eating while I’m out of town for the next few days, working. I also need to fold the laundry that is in the dryer so I can take care of some last minute ... (read more)

A Jar Of Sauce Can Make You Bigger

"We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are." Max Depree
It's funny how the seemingly simplest events in life can be doorways into profound moments of self-realization and growth. I had a meltdown this afternoon. Albeit brief, it had all the qualities of a full-fledged tantrum. It was no fun.
There I was in my kitchen making lasagna for the dinner guests I was expecting. All was going well. I was organized, had everything moving smoothly and was thoroughly enjoying chopping and sautéing and tasting bits a... (read more)
