Cheesy lasagna is a classic Italian dish beloved for its rich layers and comforting flavors. It features sheets of tender pasta layered with a hearty meat sauce, seasoned with garlic, onions, and tomatoes, along with creamy ricotta cheese, melted mozzarella, and a hint of Parmesan. Packed with protein from the cheese and meat, this dish also provides nutrients from its tomato-based sauce, which is a source of vitamins A and C. However, it is high in calories, saturated fats, and sodium, making it more indulgent than health-focused. To enhance its nutritional profile, you can opt for whole wheat lasagna noodles, use lean ground meat or plant-based proteins, and incorporate more vegetables like spinach or zucchini between the layers. A quintessential comfort food, cheesy lasagna delivers a satisfying balance of savory, cheesy, and hearty goodness that has made it a favorite in Italian cuisine worldwide.
