Pasta

Creamy Lasagna with roasted chicken potatoes and veggies

Lasagna is a flat pasta which can cooked with chicken or vegetables to form a wholesome meal.Lasagna has always been by favorite pasta.You can cook it with broccoli,eggplant ,chicken or mutton steaks .It is always tasty and flavorful.
According to Wikipedia Lasagne is the Latin word for pot or container  (Latin word for “container”, “pot”) .I think it can be rightly called as a pot pasta .But the first theory is that lasagna comes from Greek (laganon), which means a flat sheet of pasta dough cut into strips.
You need to buy a packet of ready made lasagna from the market or you can make at home with a pasta maker at home.If you can get a gluten free variety ,you  can make a very healthy and tasty meal for your family.One should take care while boiling the lasagna ,it tends to stick to each other.In this dish I have roasted the chicken separately in the oven to infuse its smoky flavor into the dish.This was the dinner yesterday ,a tasty start of the weekend…(for me Saturday the  weekend starts as I work on Saturdays)
