the only architecture you're encouraged to eat, layer by structural layer
means A baked Italian dish built from flat sheets of pasta stacked with sauce, cheese, and often meat or vegetables.
from From Italian 'lasagna' (plural 'lasagne'), which once meant the dish but originally meant the pot it was cooked in — borrowed from Latin 'lasanum,' a cooking pot, itself likely from Greek 'lasanon,' a trivet or stand for a vessel over the fire. So the layered casserole is named not for the noodles but for the cookware, the container quietly lending its name to the contents.
