Homemade lasagna is a classic Italian dish featuring layers of tender pasta sheets, rich marinara sauce, seasoned meat or vegetables, creamy ricotta or béchamel, and savory melted cheese. Known for its hearty and comforting flavors, lasagna has roots in Italy's culinary traditions but has become beloved worldwide. Packed with protein from the ground meat or vegetarian alternatives and calcium from cheese and dairy, it can be a balanced meal depending on portion size and ingredient choices. Whole-grain pasta and additional vegetables can enhance fiber and nutrient content, while controlling oil and cheese amounts can keep the dish lighter. However, lasagna can also be calorie-dense and high in saturated fat and sodium, so moderation is key. Enjoyed in homes and celebrations alike, its homemade version allows greater control over its nutritional profile while maintaining its soul-warming appeal.
