Quick Lasagna

45 minutes
Quick lasagna is the embodiment of Italian cuisine in a simplified yet refined version. The dish was born from the desire to preserve the traditional taste of lasagna while saving time on preparation. Tender layers of pasta soaked in rich Bolognese meat sauce and aromatic white sauce create a harmony of flavors. The lasagna is juicy and rich, with light notes of zucchini adding freshness. Topped with grated Parmesan, this masterpiece is baked to a golden crust that adds textural contrast. Lasagna can be served as a standalone dish complemented by a glass of red wine or a fresh salad. It’s the perfect choice for those who want to enjoy the classic taste of Italy without spending long hours in the kitchen.
