Lisanzedas is a variant of pillus (and sometimes named as such) that is oven-baked in layers like lasagne. The shape of the pasta is large (7 to 8 inches) diameter disks rather than ribbons. It is the meat stew filling and the pecorino cheese that are the common factors rather than the shape of the pasta. A variant of lisanzedas found around Cagliari is flavoured with saffron.cite-ref-pastaencyc-1-2[1] Another variant of this sort from Giba is flavoured with fennel.cite-ref-ortolani-4-1[4]
