"This is from Nov 1997, and my standard recipe when I'm craving Lasagna. The whole family loves it, and I love that I can sneak in other veggies. :) I always double the recipe and freeze the second one."

Great lasagna recipe. I also originally found this recipe on the Cooking Light site & love it. Normally I cook this as written, at times I will cut the lasagna noodles by 2 or 3.
