🇬🇧🇪🇸 lasagna - lasaña : English Lesson

Meaning of "lasagna" ("lasaña"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.

Lasagna is a yummy baked dish made by stacking big, flat pasta sheets on top of each other like a food staircase. Between the pasta layers, people usually spread tomato sauce, cheese, and sometimes meat or vegetables. Then the whole thing is baked in the oven until it’s hot, bubbly, and cheesy on top. The word “lasagna” can also mean just the flat pasta sheets themselves, before they are cooked and turned into the layered dish.
