Mama Fresina's Elena Piccola Lasagna
Traditional and a staple recipe. This is the epitomy of "Nonna's" lasagna. Lasagna featured on John Folse’s cooking show “A Taste of Louisiana” and captures the true authentic flavor of this old time recipe.
Fun Fact
Originally, the word lasagna was used to describe a pot in which food was being cooked rather than the pasta itself. Our Elena Piccola just means "Small" lasagna, meaning it is not as wide as a normal sheet of lasagna and therefore capture more sauce. Lasagna recipes have been around for ages, dating back to as early as the thirteenth century. Today, lasagnas come in all kinds of varieties from veggies and cream sauces to traditional sauce and cheese lasagnas as well as meat lasagnas.
