This rich and filling piatto unico (lit. single plate; one-dish meal) is traditionally made from layers of homemade, typically spinach-flavored fresh egg lasagna pasta that is topped with béchamel sauce and a rich meat sauce called ragù alla Bolognese. Lastly, lasagne alla Bolognese is generously sprinkled with the Emilian king of cheeses, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and baked until tender on the inside with a perfectly crisp, browned top. This oven-baked classic is a typical dish of the Emilia-Romagna region, and of the city of Bologna specifically. However, it has become so popular over time that it now enjoys a position as a worldwide symbol of Italian cuisine. Unfortunately, as is often the case with timeless dishes, changes to the original recipe or the substitution of lower-quality ingredients cause many renditions of lasagne alla Bolognese that fail to live up to the splendor of the original. Interestingly enough, in many bolognese households, there is a special deep oven casserole with handles called ruola, made of aluminum and used for baking lasagne alla bolognese.

The lasagna noodles were perfectly cooked—neither too hard nor too soft, they were slightly sticky. When you poked them with a fork, you could see the layers. The cheese, minced meat, and sauce were well-balanced; everything together was delicious. It's not something you'd specifically go out of your way to eat, but it's worth trying if you happen to be in the area.
