In Italian, 'lasagne' is the plural of 'lasagna', used because
normally there's
more than one slice of pasta in 'lasagne' :)) . Indeed the French word
('lasagnes') is plural too.

True. Etymological information coming through! Lat. volg. *lasania(m), deriv. del class. lasanum 'pentola', che è dal gr. lásana, pl., 'tripode da cucina' Vulgar latin *lasania(m), from the classical lasanum "pot", from Greek lásana, "tripod for cooking" Imperative
