Adults and children above toddler age eat lasagna with a fork. Below a certain age, children might require assistance from an adult to cut the lasagna into bite sized pieces. Use of knife use would be optional, except when eating continental style: where the knife is used to place the bite-full on the inverted fork. (In the US, the bite is pierced or "shoveled up" with the fork.) Except for very small children, a spoon should never be used to eat lasagna.
