THE BEST LASAGNA IN NYC (AND THE WORLD!) THAT SHIPS NATIONWIDE
Mmm…lasagna is a delightful comfort food. Lasagna is a perfect combination of layers of spinach egg pasta, meat ragú, and creamy béchamel sauce topped with Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. We could easily eat an entire tray.
Lasagna was first eaten by the Greeks. ‘Lasagne’ is named for the pasta sheets used to make this classic casserole. Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region is where the modern-day lasagna we know and love comes from.
There are many varieties of lasagna, including:
- Meat, including beef, brisket, chicken, pork, sausage, and veal
- Mushroom
- Spinach
- Vegetarian with veggies like eggplant, spinach, and pumpkin
While Bologna, Italy, is known for making some of the best lasagna in the world, New York City is too. The Big Apple has the largest population of Italian-Americans in the US.
