Homemade egg pasta for lasagna is the foundation of authentic Italian lasagna, a symbol of cozy family meals. This elastic, smooth dough infused with the rich flavor of eggs and the tenderness of milk is perfect for creating a multi-layered culinary masterpiece.

After boiling, the sheets become soft yet retain their firmness, making the lasagna incredibly delicious. This dough absorbs the aroma of the sauce and filling, creating a harmony of textures and flavors. The best way to serve it is in classic lasagna with tomato sauce, meat ragù, and cheese to enjoy the true spirit of Italian cuisine.
