A baked Italian pasta dish made with layers of wide noodles, cheese, and sauce, usually containing meat or vegetables.
From Italian lasagna, which comes from Latin lasanum meaning 'cooking pot.' The word may ultimately derive from Greek lasanon. The dish itself originated in Naples, Italy during the 14th century and became one of the most famous Italian-American foods.
Lasagne is basically edible architecture—each layer is carefully engineered so it holds together while being amazingly delicious. The reason it takes so long to cook is that the heat has to slowly work through all those layers, making it one of the few dishes where patience literally improves the science.
