Lasagna, Garfield's favorite dish of layered pasta stuffed with meaty tomato sauce ricotta and mozzarella cheese, right?
Well sometimes.
Turns out lasagna is one of the most complicated and varied dishes I've ever researched for this show, and the only way I could figure out how to discuss it was with this, the lasagna family tree.
So today I'll show you how to make a medieval lasagna as I tumble down the rabbit hole, and explore the genealogy of lasagna.
This time on Tasting History.
Today is kind of special because I'm getting to pair with the fantastic Chef Frank Proto from his channel Proto Cooks.
You might know Chef Frank for his fantastic Four Levels videos that he does for Epicurious.
So on Tasting History today normal episode talking about the history of lasagna, but then I'm actually going to appear over on Chef Frank's channel afterward to talk about the more recent past of lasagna while he makes his version of an American lasagna.
So for today's recipe we're going to that exact place that you think of when you think of lasagna, medieval England.
That's right we have a recipe for lasagne in that 14th century cookbook that's become rather perennial on this show, the form of curry.
