The lasagna noodle was one of the very first types of noodle to be eaten as pasta and originated in Naples. But, even long before that, it came from Ancient Greece, where people would use the dough to make unleavened breads and then the name of a pot or a dish which the food was cooked in. Not until later, it became the dish we all now know and love, and took on the name of the dish that it was cooked in. The Romans took the dish as their own and used the Greek word, lasana, meaning pot or chambered pot. Lasagne is made buy layering layer upon layer of vegetables, cheeses, meat and, of course, the lasagne noodles. Now, there are so many different variations of the dish, including a Tex Mex version, and seafood version. There are now even dessert versions with chocolate and whipped cream in them.
