Thanks Anne for this clarification. I had an idea that this 1883 macaroni might survive today, but wasn’t sure how to find out more, and what it might now be known as.

Lasagna is made with lasagna noodles, ricotta, grated cheese, either or both meatballs & sausage & tomato sauce (gravy). Lasagna survives in traditonal Italian homes for Thanksgiving as does raviol.
