The USA celebrated national lasagne day at the weekend, or lasagna, as they spell it; and it got me thinking about how popular lasagne is over here in the UK. When we walk into our local supermarkets you’re guaranteed to see fridges full of ready-made-meals, and if you either love them or hate them, there’s always a wide selection of Italian dishes, lasagne usually dominating the selection!
So, we took them to the test in search of finding 6 of the most popular lasagne dishes and rating them, taking into account best value for money and quality of taste, and here they are, by some of our most loved supermarkets.
