Lasagne are a type of wide, flat pasta, possibly one of the oldest types of pasta. Lasagne, or the singular lasagna, is an Italian dish made of stacked layers of this flat pasta alternating with fillings such as meat and other vegetables, cheese, and seasonings and spices such as garlic, oregano and basil. 

Today I am sharing the recipe of meat lasagna which i regularly make for dinners as my kids love it. I also make the vegetarian version of it too using spinach which also comes out yum. Do try this recipe and enjoy.
