This is the best lasanga recipe I have found. Between 3 people it was gone in a under 2 days. need I say more. -
This was a very good recipe that all my guests raved about. I did use ground turkey instead of ground beef and it was also a good way to use up some of the frozen tomato sauce that I made last summer. (My first garden and I planted WAY too many tomatoes lol). One of the reasons I chose this recipe was because you make it the day before. This helped take some of the stress out of getting things ready for guests. Thank you Chef John 1302, I will use this recipe again!
