Amy's Lasagne With a White and Red Sauce

Submitted by knobbyknee

"My friend gave me this recipe. I have been making it for years. It is my favorite. You will notice a spice not normally found in lasagna. The left overs are ever good! I always use the kind of noodles you don't have to pre-cook, makes life a lot easier. I also usually sprinkle some Italian seasoning on top for color, not really for seasoning. You can also sprinkle some parmesan cheese on top of last layer of mozzarella cheese. I guessed on the prep time."

yum thankyou - i made that with everything i already had in the fridge! i added some sugar, vinager, garlic and stock to canned tomoatoes to make a sauce, and also put in some spinach which made it a vegetarian lasagne. im not that keen on milk, but when i used soy milk to make the white sauce - hmm dont know it doesnt smell as good as regular white sauce! i think you can do a lot with this - thanks!
