    Right. ‘Lasagna’ in particular is spelt exactly like it’s pronounced in Italian.

      Hell, it’s spelled phonetically enough for English too. “gn” making the same sound as in “gnome” will pretty much get you there.

      I guess to be fair it’s just not a common phoneme, and spelling can be a crapshoot in English.
