Vegetarian Lasagna Recipe
The word "lasagne" is derived from the Greek word "laganon" a flat sheet of pasta dough of unleavened dough, cut into strips. Its origins come from Naples, Italy and it consists of Durum Wheat. If you look up Italy in the encyclopedia, you will find under the food section: pasta (made chiefly from flour and water), a basic food throughout Italy. It has several layers of lasagne sheets alternating with sauces and various ingredients and tomato sauce, flavored with garlic, onion, and oregano (plural: lasagnes).
Pasta includes spaghetti, macaroni, ravioli, vermicelli, and lasagne. In Italy there is a historical museum in Pontedassio, near Imperia with exhibits that show the history of the food. Butter, olive oil, and tomatoes are often used in Italian cooking, and almost region of the country has its own food specialty. The flavor of the olive oil used in lasagne depends upon the variety of the olives used. Their ripeness when picked, the way they are handled, and the length of time they are stored before pressing determines the flavor of the oil. The best oil comes from olives which are picked just after they ripen and before they turn black. If the olives are picked too green, the olive is bitter; if picked too ripe, the oil is rancid. Italy and Spain combie produce 3/5 of the world olive oil production.
