Plated lasagna with Genovese pesto and potatoes

Lasagna al pesto alla Genovese, served on a plate, represents one of the most free expressions of Ligurian cuisine. In the article’s photo, it is a more artistic and visually striking version compared to the traditional recipe, which instead requires a precise and orderly layering of ingredients in a baking dish. Here, the composition can be interpreted with greater freedom: what matters is not strict layering, but respect for the raw ingredients and the balance of the dish. The real difference is always made by the quality of the ingredients and proper cooking: the pasta must remain soft yet intact, the pesto fresh and not altered by heat, and the potatoes present but not overpowering. Beyond that, there is room for creativity. In this dish, technique leads the way, but freedom completes the result.
