Nowhere else to turn. Is lasagna a thing, or a collective of things?
Seems silly, but temporaly tied to how we use language nowadays.
I have baking (as I type, mind you... ) a glass dish filled with layers of flat noodles, cheeses, spinach, and a meat/veggie sauce.

It's a dish, which is one word describing a specific arrangement of ingredients. Happens all the time in language.

It's "a lasagna" OP, as the lasagna is considered a complete thing which is then separated for serving.
Same with 'a casserole' or 'a cake'.
But that's really being technical, it's not that concerning.
