I have been using this recipe about as long as the poster of this recipe. I love it. I got the cookbook in 1974, also for a wedding present. Sadly, it has disappeared. This is the BEST lasagna, hands down! Best, best, best. I wish that cookbook would be republished EXACTLY as it once was, because it was the best cookbook ever as well.

I finally found my recipe from when I was a girl and made lasagna for the first time. It was incredible and everyone loved it, including a friend who had never eaten lasagna before. I served it with online recipe of Olive Garden salad. The food was worth it. My one-year-old ate it too! Definitely will make again!

Thank you for finding this - my 40 year old paperback cookbook my Mother gave me when I went to college, is literally falling apart, and this is one of my favorite recipes!
