Lasagna

My boss gave me this recipe, passed down from her Italian Mom. I love that the recipe is easier than most lasangas and a little different. Recipezaar won't allow me to be vauge with the ingredient amounts so for the stewed tomatoes, you can substitute 1 large can instead of the 2 cups fresh.
