Lasagne

Lasagne is a classic dish that adds a touch of Italy to any pub menu and remains a firm favourite among diners. This hearty, baked dish is typically served with a crisp green side salad and either chips or garlic bread, making it a satisfying meal.

The Australian version of lasagne features layers of flat pasta sheets interspersed with a rich tomato sauce, cheese, and spicy minced meat, all baked to golden perfection. The result is a dish that’s not only juicy with oozing cheese and tomato sauce, but also solid and structured, offering a more rigid form than lasagnes found in many other countries.

In Australia, lasagne is often made with a more condensed tomato sauce and harder cheeses, such as cheddar, parmesan, and tasty cheese, which gives it a firmer texture. In contrast, versions from other parts of the world, like the USA, tend to use softer cheeses and a juicier sauce, resulting in a lasagne with less structure. Whether you prefer it firm or saucy, lasagne brings rich, comforting flavours that have made it a mainstay on pub menus across the country.
