We don't actually have a pasta called lasagna. It is a dish made with
sheets of pasta. In the USA it is curly edged like that if you buy
dried. There is a long stick with curly edges, but I never noticed the
name, REID/Reed.
Cooks here vie to make their lasagna the lightest ever. In the US it
sometimes seems they are vying to see who can make the most leaden and
calorific dish. For light you obviously want those thin sheets.
