Virginia's Easy Lasagne

Belinda in Austin, TX's Note:

I love this recipe! You don't have to cook the lasagne noodles, separately, and it always turns out great! I got the recipe from a box of Skinner lasagne noodles, years ago, and I've been making it, this way, ever since!

I've been using this recipe for years straight from the side of the Skinner Lasagna noodle box. I have made as is, added vegetables, substituted cottage cheese for ricotta and several other changes depending on what I had on hand. Basically, the recipe is versatile and has never let me down. Its easy and has always turned out excellent.
