Medieval Lasagna Meets Modern Day Lasagna

The first known reference to lasagna dates back to Medieval Italy. It was quite different from the well-known dish of today. For starters, there were no tomatoes in Italy at that time and therefore no tomato sauce. Instead the noodles were simply topped with grated hard cheeses and spices. The second large difference is in the noodles themselves. They were cut into squares, about 2 inches by 2 inches. And the dough that produces the noodles was distinctly different from modern pasta dough. It was fermented with naturally occurring yeasts just as breads of the time were, also referred to as naturally leavened. This gives the lasagna noodles a much different texture due to the gasses produced during the rising process.
