This is edible. I didn't get the aluminum foil at all, although I followed directions and used it, it was a waste of money. Also, labeling this "lasagne" while using shells is also a bit out of the norm. Thanks, katii, for putting out there a very esoteric pasta recipe. Made for Bargain Basement tag game.
