A dish that needs no introduction, lasagna is the definition of home cooking in Italy. It’s made with one of the oldest known pastas (by the same name) and has so many variations it will make your head spin. The dish dates back as far as the Middle Ages to the city of Naples, but the baked version, or lasagna al forno, we’re familiar with—and the one we recreated—hails from Emilia-Romagna. Our lasagna is made with the double punch of a meat ragù and a béchamel sauce, layered between sheets of pasta, Parmesan and mozzarella cheese. It’s unfussy, rustic and ridiculously good—so get ready to serve up seconds.
