This is my own recipe that I've played with over the years. It used to use a lot more cheese, but I've simplified it and enjoy it much more this way. I don't like a lot of noodles in my lasagna, but you can always use more if you prefer.

I had the urge to cook lasagna last night and used this recipe. It was a totaly hit with my family! My mom, a health freak, had a piece and came back for seconds, my dad who only wanted a tiny bite ended up cutting himself a huge slice, and my little brother who won't eat anything, gobbled it down and asked for more! the leftovers? devoured the next day! very very tasty lasagna!!! i suggest adding a bit more cheese to top it off and I added pepperonis which worked well also!
