Lasagna is, arguably, the most delicious baked pasta, ever. And its layers of melty cheese, soft noodles and rich sauce definitely make it the coziest dish. This winter, here are 10 ways to indulge in this well-loved dish, from a one-pan lasagna—watch how it's made below—to an ultra-classic made with homemade bolognese and a modern, vegetable-forward stuffed spaghetti squash (you won't even miss the noodles):
