Definitions and meaning of lasagna

lasagna

Alternative forms

  • lasagne (this form is the one typically used in British English)

Etymology

From Italian lasagna (and its plural lasagne), possibly from Vulgar Latin *lasania, from Latin lasanum (“cooking pot”), from Ancient Greek λάσανον (lásanon, “trivet or stand for a pot”). Others argue the Italian lasagna originally derived from the Arabic لَوْزِينَج (lawzīnaj, “almond cake”).

  • (Canada) IPA(key): /ləˈzɑ.njə/
  • (New Zealand) IPA(key): /lɘˈsɐː.njɘ/, /lɘˈzɐː.njɘ/

Noun

lasagna (countable and uncountable, plural lasagnas or lasagne)

  1. A flat sheet of pasta.
  2. An Italian baked dish comprising layers of such pasta with various ingredients (usually a meat ragù (chiefly Bolognese), a fish ragù or a vegetarian/vegetable ragù with bechamel sauce).
  3. (by extension) A combination or layering of things.

Usage notes

  • In Italian, lasagna refers to one flat sheet of pasta and its plural form, lasagne, refers to the dish. This distinction is also observed in English, but only rarely in American English.
  • When the dish is referred to as lasagne (rather than lasagna), lasagnes is sometimes found as the plural form, referring to multiple dishes or varieties.
