What Is Lasagna Made Of?

Lasagna is a classic Italian dish that consists of layers of pasta, meat sauce, and cheese.

The specific ingredients used can vary depending on the recipe, but here are some common ingredients found in lasagna recipes:

  • Pasta
  • Meat
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Cheese
  • Herbs and Spices: Garlic, onion, basil, and oregano

To make lasagna, the ingredients are layered in a baking dish and baked in the oven until hot and bubbly.

The specific layering order can vary depending on the recipe but typically involves layering the pasta, meat sauce, and cheese mixture.

Popular Italian Restaurants In West Michigan

I don't have a long list of Italian restaurants I've eaten at to share, but some of the most popular places in West Michigan that people rave about include:

Amore Trattoria Italiana

Bistro Bella Vita

Palio

Pietro's Italian Restaurant

Uccello's

The places I listed above all have great Italian food, but they don't serve up the best Lasagna in the state. That honor belongs to an Italian restaurant on the East side of Michigan.

 The Best Lasagna In Michigan

Here is what Love Food had to say about La Lanterna

For a lasagne that’s bursting with flavor, head to pizza and pasta spot La Lanterna and order the Lasagna alla Bolognese. The meat sauce is super rich and it’s covered in a generous serving of cheese. Some guests say it’s the best they’ve tasted. You can find it on the menu at the restaurant’s sister sites too.

 

La Lanterna is worth checking out, and so are these other new restaurants in West Michigan.
