I know you’re exaggerating for the joke, but since Italians usually have starters + first dish (usually pasta or soup) + second dish (meat or fish) on their menus, you’d have at least 6 dishes on the menu(I’ve never seen a restaurant that doesn’t have at least 2 options for each course outside of those that don’t do a la carte) + dessert.
Also, a bit more on topic, personally I’d much rather order lasagna than most other things on the menu as it’s usually a good dish + to do it properly at home it takes a decent amount of time. So if I’m gonna pay 20€ or whatever for a dish, I’d much rather have lasagna than pasta with pesto or a steak or whatever.
