Lasagna with meat is a classic Italian-American comfort dish made with layers of wide pasta sheets, seasoned ground meat (commonly beef or pork), rich tomato sauce, creamy ricotta, and gooey mozzarella cheese, often finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan. This hearty casserole is baked to achieve a satisfying combination of textures and flavors. While lasagna is a protein-packed meal thanks to the meat and cheese, its calorie and fat content can be high, especially if made with full-fat dairy or extra meat. On the healthier side, it provides a good source of calcium from the cheeses, lycopene from the tomato sauce, and energy-packed carbohydrates from the pasta. For a lighter version, ingredients like lean ground turkey, low-fat cheese, or added vegetables such as spinach or zucchini can increase its nutritional value while reducing fat content. Lasagna remains a favorite for family gatherings and comfort-food occasions.
