This is by far the best lasagna I have EVER tasted. This is another recipe from my older sister, and nothing she makes ever comes out bad. I'm glad she shared it with me! It's very simple to make, and it makes enough to feed an army. I will warn you though, you do get a lot of dishes dirty. I swear I completely fill up the dishwasher every time I make it, but it is definitely worth it. I made some yummy breadsticks to go along with the lasagna. My first attempt at breadsticks. They turned out great, thank goodness.

The meal was perfect! All we needed was some romantic Italian music in the background. In fact, I have an Italian CD I bought when I went to Italy! Why didn't I put it on? Oh well, there's always leftovers and we've got plenty! It's a good thing we have our FoodSaver. We can vacuum seal our leftovers (in individual servings), freeze them, and enjoy them in the future without having them go to waste! The food always tastes just as good as when we originally cooked them. Check out all of our leftovers!
