ʻO Lasagna ka mālaʻai (aiʻole ka wai kūmole pepa) he mea hana maikaʻi a maʻalahi ia no ka hanaʻana i kahi moena hoʻoulu hou. No ka hanaʻana i ka māla lasagna, hoʻokomoʻia nā mea iʻa i nā papa (ʻo ia hoʻi ka hua'ōlelo "kālā lasagna," i kākauʻia e ka mea kākau moʻo'ōleloʻo Patricia Lanza ma kāna puke nui ma ia kumuhana) ma kahi āu e makemake ai i kahi moena hou. Kūleʻa nā papa i lalo o ka manawa, a waihoʻiaʻoe me kahi momona waiwai, lepo momona kahi e ulu i kou pua, mea kanu a mea ulu paha.
ʻO ke ala maikaʻi loa e kūkulu i kahi māla lasagna,ʻo ia kekahi mau papa likeʻole o "nā meaʻeleʻele" (carbon-rich) me nā "'ōmaʻomaʻo".
Eia kekahi mau mea maikaʻi loa e hoʻokomo i loko o kāu māla lasagna, i hoʻonohonohoʻia e "greens" a "browns":
