"Lasagne"

Lasagne are a wide, flat pasta shape, and possibly one of the oldest types of pasta. Lasagne originated in Italy, traditionally ascribed to the city of Bologna where the first modern recipe was created and published and became a traditional dish.

Theory

One theory is that the word lasagne comes from the Greek λάσανα (lasana) or λάσανον (lasanon) meaning "trivet or stand for a pot", "chamber pot.The Romans borrowed the word as "lasanum", meaning "cooking pot" in Latin. The Italians used the word to refer to the dish in which lasagne is made. Later the name of the food took on the name of the serving dish.
