Lasagne
Lasagne, with its layered sheets, has roots in the Emilia-Romagna region of Northern Italy. Its versatility makes it a staple in Canadian kitchens, where it's used to create hearty meat-based baked dishes like classic lasagna or vegetarian alternatives. It's perfect for gatherings and family dinners. Lasagne is also a great make-ahead dish to prepare for the coming week or serve when hosting loved ones.
