Lasagna is considered a festive dish in Italy, typically prepared for special occasions like Christmas, weddings, and other significant events. In certain regions such as Emilia-Romagna, a unique version called lasagna alla bolognese is popular, which features meat sauce and béchamel sauce.
The original lasagna was vegetarian

This recipe, dating back to the 13th century, was made with layers of pasta, spinach, eggplant, artichokes, ricotta cheese, and grated cheese. Meat was only introduced during the Renaissance, when lasagna began to spread outside Italy.
In the 16th century, tomato sauce, a quintessential ingredient in Italian pasta, was added to this recipe with the arrival of tomatoes in Italy.
