Excellent lasagna. Prepared Sicilian Pasta Sauce from this site for the sauce. The two recipes blended perfectly together; the flavors were amazing. Using a Mandolin to cut the Eggplant helped a lot in uniformity. Will definately make this again and again. Nice to have wonderful low-carb recipes to choose from.
