Lasagna
Posted by Polina | Under Italian Food, Recipes Wednesday Apr 21, 2010it’s interesting that many people are unaware of the humble origins of the name for this popular Italian food. ‘Lasagna’ got its name from the Greek lasanon, which means “chamber pot.” The Romans borrowed the word to refer to cooking pots of a similar shape, and eventually the word came to be used to refer to the noodles which were traditionally layered in a lasanum, a Roman lasagna dish. Here is one of various recopes to prepare Lasagna easy and quick:
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 medium sweet white onion, diced
1/2 large green bell pepper, seeds and veins removed, diced
1/2 lb dry lasagna noodles (requires 9 lasagna noodles – unbroken)

Pasta, meat and cheese! I simply love lasagna. I find it very versatile, too! You can try different meats (or no meat) and cheeses as well. It’s really fun to experiment on it. Most of the time it’s actually a success because frankly, you’ll never go wrong with anything cheesy.
