Extra Cheesy Lasagna for Roy
"I don't eat lasagna myself but I do make it on occasion for my family. When we used to live in this little side by side duplex, I swear that my neigbor Roy could smell it through the walls. I still make it every time I go down to see him and his girlfriend.
And yes it does say 2 lbs of mozarella. The man loves his lasagna cheesy."

I think this is the Perfect Lasagna recipe for those who do not like Ricotta Cheese. I never ate lasagna because of my dislike for ricotta. But, I loved this lasagna. I used a little less than 2 pounds of mozz cheese (about 1 1/2lb) and it still came out very cheesy! I did add 1/2lb of lean ground beef because my husband likes it meaty. It came out great! -
I find lasagna not such a difficult dish to prepare and this is no exception. I used ragu and followed the recipe exactly. Although it was good,it could be much better. Next time I'll try ricotta cheese and make my own sauce. Ofcourse,I finished the pan in no time. Will report on my version soon

<p>I am a mother of two. My kids are Carissa 6 and Logan 3. Carissa's kind of a picky little bird but Logan . . . is going to send me to the poorhouse as a teenager because he can already out eat me and my fiance. So both kids have me on the constant search for great recipes. <br /> <br />I loved to play the 50s housewife role, which I did for two and a half years but now I'm back out in the working world. I am the office administrator at a small mental health clinic that specializes in children on the autism spectrum. <br /> <br />Unfortunately with everything going on these days and busy little bodies constantly running around I don't have as much time to cook and bake as I did when I was home but I LOVE it every time I get the chance. My passion is truly baking. Though I love to cook, I live to bake! I also enjoy reading, online computer games, sewing, friends and music of all kinds.</p>
