A bit of history:

Originally, the lasagna was not as we know them today. They have their roots in ancient Greece and the Roman age. At that time, the lasagne were pasta cut into squares, cooked in a pot and served with legumes and cheese. They were called “Lasana,” “lasanum,” or “Lagana,” which are Latin words. These words come from the greek “laganon,” the meaning of which is large and flat sheet of pasta cut into strips. This type of pasta began to be known as “lasagna” only after 1000 AD.
In the fourteenth century, Francesco Zambrini found that those strips of dough could be left intact and that it could create the layers with cheese. In 900, the lasagna were a popular dish because the restaurants in Bologna began to make her for customers. The lasagne was not only known in Bologna: In 1935, Paolo Monelli put the lasagna in his book, “Ghiottone errant”.
Lasagna now have become a symbol of Italian cuisine in the world.
