Dry lasagna noodles are thin, elongated sheets of pasta made from durum wheat semolina, specifically designed for preparing lasagna, one of the most iconic Italian dishes. These noodles are sold in dry form for easy storage and have a firm texture that allows them to support multiple layers of sauce, meat, vegetables, and cheeses during cooking.
Origin: Lasagna noodles come from the Italian culinary tradition, specifically from the Emilia-Romagna region, considered the gastronomic heart of lasagna. Over time, their popularity spread throughout Europe and Latin America, where they were adopted and adapted into various recipes.
Properties: Dry lasagna noodles are an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, providing sustained energy. Being primarily made from durum wheat, they contain protein and dietary fiber, albeit in moderate amounts. Due to their texture and shape, they perfectly absorb and complement rich and creamy sauces, facilitating the preparation of balanced and comforting dishes.
Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: In different Latin American countries, dry lasagna noodles may simply be called láminas de lasaña, láminas de pasta para lasaña, or planchas de lasaña. In some places, they are also known as pastas para lasaña, directly referencing their use in the preparation of this dish.
