This recipe is one of my mom's specialties. It's a hearty main dish that gets requested time and time again. The from-scratch sauce makes each cheesy slice extra flavorful and softer-textured than other versions.—Kim Orr, West Grove, Pennsylvania

My family did not like the sauce because they missed the Italian herbs I usually use.

This is the best lasagna recipe I've ever made. My husband told me to "mark this one down" because it is excellent. This recipe was featured in TOH's article "my mom's best meal." All of the companion recipes were also very good.

Having been married to 2 Italian women, I was sceptical to9 any Italian using onion soup mix in a pasta sauce but the lasagna was excellent! My wife wants me to make it again.

Very true that this is the BEST lasagna recipe I ever tried and I have tried dozens. This is a recipe from about 1972 and it was originally published in the AMANA Radar Range Cookbook. I think it is the onion soup that really makes the difference. It is as good in the microwave as in a regular oven. Whenever I fix this for company they always ask for the recipe.
