The oldest lasagna recipe

The world’s oldest recipe for lasagna has been found in a recipe book commissioned by King Richard II in 1390.

The recipe pre-dates the earliest Italian recipes for lasagna, it does not include tomatoes as an ingredient (not discovered and brought to England until two centuries later).
