Plurallasagnes
- 1British English spelling of lasagna, the oven-baked Italian dish of flat pasta sheets layered with meat, sauce, and cheese.

Note
The British form works as both a mass noun and a count noun. As a mass noun it means the food in general (some lasagne for lunch). As a count noun it means one baked dish. Morwenna Ferrier, writing in 2025, uses both in a single phrase: "a lasagne that feels like lasagne." When counted, this singular takes the regular English plural lasagnes.
- 2Plural of lasagna, following Italian. Rare in American English, which uses lasagnas.
The caterers prepared three large lasagne for the wedding reception.
Restaurant cooks often assemble dozens of lasagne ahead of a busy weekend.
Note
Here the spelling keeps its Italian grammar, in which lasagne is the plural of lasagna. It can count several flat sheets of pasta or several baked dishes, as in three lasagne. The same letters also serve as the British singular, so let the grammar decide. The lasagne are ready reads as this plural, while a lasagne names one dish in British spelling.
