Nogada Lasagna

While chile en nogada is a traditional Mexican dish from the colonial era, typical of patriotic celebrations, lasagna is a world-renowned Italian dish made with sheets of pasta, so this combination is innovative and its recipe is very simple. To make it perfect, the nogada should be thick so that the lasagna has good structure and the pasta should not be fully cooked in the water, as it will finish cooking in the oven.
