My husband and kids really enjoyed this one...it took about 35 minutes to prepare and that was moving as fast as I could because my kids were saying they were "hungry! hungry! hungry!" Since I discovered that I really like the taste of nutmeg, I add it to a lot of stuff! BTW, I was surprised to find that my family enjoyed sprinkling cinnamon on top of the lasagna too! Go figure.
