Lasagne is an Italian classic, like a Fellini’s movie.
My family used to cook lasagne for special occasions, like Christmas or for a lunch with friends. It takes a bit effort to make lasagne: cooking the bechamel, the sauce, the filling (typically ragù) and finally the baking. Because this long and complex process, everyone is waiting with excitement for a big portion of lasagne on the plate.
And guess what? The day after, if there is a slight chance of leftover, they are even better!
Lasagne perfectly embrace the vegan tradition, offering much more options than just the ones with ragù sauce.
