E-z Lasagna

Lots of lasagna recipes on RecipeZaar but this one is very easy. I often substitute the store bought spaghetti sauce instead of making the sauce/paste combination in this recipe (I don't think you can tell the difference) - but be sure to add your own spices. The lasagna noodles do not need to be pre-cooked.
