Cheese really stars in this lasagna, which I created a few years ago. It can be prepared ahead of time and baked later. I sometimes make up a couple batches and freeze them in case company drops by. -Janet Myers, Napanee, Ontario

The recipe calls for one pound of lasagna noodles; is that correct? It seems like a lot of noodles for a 9x13 pan. Pls inform.

My favorite lasagna ever! I sometimes substitute Italian sausage for the beef. This is what my husband requests for his birthday dinner.

As far as I'm concerned this recipe is as good as lasagne served in some of the finest Italian restaurants. The only change I made was to cut the noodles in half--I thought 16 oz was too much. Voncille in Texas

I found this recipe in taste of home magazine years ago. It has been the only lasagna I have made since! I have 5 kids from toddler to teen and they all absolutely love it. It is a perfect lasagna!
