About Lasagna noodles

Lasagna noodles are a type of wide, flat pasta traditionally used in lasagna recipes, originating from Italy and central to Italian cuisine. Typically made from durum wheat semolina, water, and occasionally eggs, these noodles provide a substantial base for layered dishes including meat, vegetables, cheese, and sauce. A 2-ounce (56g) serving contains approximately 200 calories, 1g of fat, 7g of protein, and 40g of carbohydrates. Lasagna noodles are a good source of energy due to their carbohydrate content and also provide essential B-vitamins (such as thiamine and folic acid) from enriched grains. Many varieties are available, including gluten-free and whole-grain options, catering to diverse dietary needs. Dry lasagna noodles are shelf-stable, while freshly made varieties require refrigeration.
