This dish was introduced to Poland in the mid-sixteenth century by an Italian queen named Bona Sforza when she was married to the Polish king Sigismund the Old. Sometimes referred to as “Polish lasagna”, Lazanki captures a special blend of Italian and Polish cuisine that combines the best of both cultures.
