This was a really different way to do lasagna, but was really tasty. It also is thinner (not as many layers) as the typical lasagna that I am used to, so we used this as an excuse to eat the whole pan (I guess you could say we liked it). I thought it was very easy to make. I used purple cabbage that was already shredded. We'd have this again! Thanks for posting! Made for Photo Tag Spring 2013

I am originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Ohio in 1978. It was quite a culture shock going from the city to living next to the Amish. I spend most of my time cooking, cleaning and caring for my four kids. I have abandoned cookbooks and now cook from favorite, wilted recipe pages and the internet. I fell in love with my Italian family recipes (Scavo, Rotella, Scalzo, Micelli, Grande, Gigliotti) and my Mom's homecooked meals.
