Family Favorite Lasagna

"This is my family's favorite lasagna. It is a recipe I got from a local mennonite cookbook and it is SUPERB! It has a homemade tomato sauce that is easy to whip up while the noodles are cooking. Try it... I hope you love it as much as we do!"

  1. This was very good and very simple to make. This was my first time for making homemade lasagna. I did use ricotta cheese instead of cottage. My suggestion would be to double the sauce recipe though. I will also omit the brown sugar next time it was a little too sweet for me.
