Now, most of us believe that lasagna is an Italian dish. But there are theories saying it originated from the Greeks. Its name came from the Greek word �laganon,� which means, �flat pasta dough.� And according to history, the Greeks came before the Romans. This is just one of the reasons why some historians think lasagna came from the Greeks. There are other facts linked to this theory as well. This just means that there is a huge possibility that lasagna is a Greek food after all!

Tomatoes are actually a fruit because of their seeds. This fruit is grown and eaten around the world, and are used in a variety of diverse ways, from salads, to soups, ketchup or sauces used for pizza, pasta and lasagna. Unripe green tomatoes can also be breaded and fried (just like the movie with the same name), used to make salsa, or pickled. Tomato juice is sold as a drink, and can be used in cocktails such as the Bloody Mary. Tomatoes are acidic, which makes them especially easy to preserve in home canning whole in recipes such as tomato sauce or paste. The fruit is also preserved by drying, often in the sun, and sold either in bags or in jars with oil. Tomatoes are used a lot in Mediterranean cuisine and cooking.

But no matter where it came from, what's important is its discovery and that it is here to stay. This recipe has evolved throughout the years. The original lasagna recipe only used either ricotta or mozzarella cheese. Now, you can use five different types of cheese! What are these five? It's time to get familiar with cheddar, jack, Parmesan, mozzarella, and ricotta cheese. According to Lisa, mixing these cheeses gives this dish a richer depth of flavor. That sounds intriguing and I know you can't wait to cook this for your family.
