Lasagna with carasau bread is a rich and very tasty first course, an original and tasty alternative to the classic lasagna. The sheets of fresh pasta, in fact, are excellently replaced by crunchy slices of carasau bread, a typical specialty of the Sardinian gastronomic tradition, and then stuffed in layers with a rich seasoning with an autumnal flavor, starring one of the most successful combinations of Italian cuisine, that is mushrooms and sausage.
