lasagne
Baked Italian layers
Lasagne is a pasta dish of wide flat noodles layered with sauce, cheese, and usually meat or vegetables, then baked.
The noodles themselves are also called lasagne.
The spelling lasagna is more common in American English, while lasagne prevails in British English and reflects the Italian plural form: We're having lasagne for dinner.
