Easiest ever lasagne recipe

Let’s begin by indulging in the rich and varied history of lasagne. Lasagne, as a dish, has its roots all the way back in ancient Greece. The name ‘lasagne’ is derived from the Greek term ‘lasanon’, which directly means ‘cooking pot’. Interestingly, the Romans later borrowed this term and it evolved to ‘lasanum’ in Latin to describe cooking pots. Over time, the term was then used to refer to the dish that was cooked in said pot, eventually evolving into the meal we know and love today.
