   • 1996, Lance Olsen, Time Famine: A Novel

     Kristofer'd gotten it through his head shortly after their arrival to swim naked in the lake, such as it was, and his skin blemished into a lasagna of red hives, white welts, and disarming yellowish spots.

   • 2008, Body & Soul

     Unfortunately, typical mattresses are often a lasagna of nonbiodegradable synthetics, pesticides, and potentially carcinogenic toxins.

   • 2011, Thorsten Botz-Bornstein, Inception and Philosophy: Ideas to Die for, Open Court Publishing (?ISBN), page 280:

     It's sort of a lasagna of ideas about time and dreams.

   • 2013, Molly Harper, How to Run with a Naked Werewolf, Simon and Schuster (?ISBN)

     “Everything about us is just one layer of lies after another. We're a lasagna of lies. This is a terrible basis for a relationship.”

Usage notes

• In Italian, lasagna refers to one flat sheet of pasta and its plural form, lasagne, refers to the dish. This distinction is also observed in English, but only rarely in American English.
• When the dish is referred to as lasagne (rather than lasagna), lasagnes is sometimes found as the plural form, referring to multiple dishes or varieties.
