Simply Delicious Lasagna

"The best lasagna you've ever had, and so simple too! I make my own sauce for this lasagna but you can use your favorite jar sauce if you want. The cooking time does not include the time to make the sauce. It is well worth the wait to make your own sauce though!!! Enjoy!"

  1. Most of the time I've been happy enough with buying a vegetarian lasagna since about the only time we've had a supper like this is when we have my son & DIL over (both vegetarians)! However, that's now changed, especially when I can access a recipe like this one! It's not just 'simply delicious,' but it's also pretty easy to prepare! Thanks for sharing this very nice keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
