Love Italian food? High five! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that India loves to gorge on pizzas, pasta and risottos, even if it means giving the authentic a bit of desi tadka. Italian, besides Chinese, is after all one of the few global cuisines that Indians have truly made their own. From regularly featuring on the dining tables of most urban Indian homes to satisfy our cravings to being on the menu of most multi-cuisine restaurants, Italian food is here to stay.
The cuisine offers so many varieties to choose from, both in veg or non-veg. From pasta - penne, lasagne, spaghetti, macaroni, tagliatelle and ravioli among others – to numerous sauces, herbs, vegetables and meats, there would be hardly anyone who wouldn't enjoy a hearty Italian meal.
However, if you are bored of having the same old regular pizzas, pastas and wish to experiment with something new and exciting, lasagne is here to your rescue. Rich layers of cheese, herbs, veggies or meats to countless seasonings in-between pasta sheets, lasagna makes for an exotic delicious meal you won’t be able to resist.
