Description
Lasagna sheet is a fundamental ingredient in the preparation of the classic Italian recipe known as lasagna. These are thin, rectangular or square pieces made primarily from wheat flour dough, eggs, and water, which are used to create alternating layers with various fillings such as sauces, meats, cheeses, and vegetables.
Its origin dates back to Italian cuisine, specifically the Emilia-Romagna region, where this pasta in the form of sheets allows for the creation of a dish that combines soft textures and intense flavors. Traditionally, lasagna is baked in the oven, achieving a perfect fusion of its ingredients.
Among its properties, lasagna sheets mainly provide complex carbohydrates that offer sustained energy. When made with whole grain ingredients, they also provide dietary fiber. Furthermore, as a base product for multiple combinations, its nutritional value can vary depending on the fillings and sauces used.
In the Hispanic American context, the lasagna sheet may have synonyms or similar names such as lasagna pasta, pasta sheet, or simply oven-bake pasta sheet. However, the most common and recognized term is lasagna sheet.
