Sheet pasta
Lasagne
Quick answer
Lasagne are wide flat sheets layered with sauce and baked.
Lasagne means "from lasanum, cooking pot" in Italian.
Best sauces: ragù and béchamel, ricotta and meatballs. Match the shape to the sauce — long thin pasta for oil and light sauces, tubes and ridges for chunky or meaty sauces, flat egg ribbons for rich ragù and butter.
