Description

My family first tasted this rich, classic lasagna at a friends home on Christmas Eve. We were so impressed that it became our own holiday tradition as well. I also prepare it other times of the year. Its requested often by my sisters Italian in-laws—I consider that the highest compliment! —Lorri Foockle, Granville, Illinois

Love, love, love this recipe!! It is so delicious, everyone raves over it. Will never make another lasagna recipe....ever!

One of the best lasagnas Ive had. I changed the beef and pork to only italian sausage. It was delicious!

This will be my go to lasagna from now on. Perfect! Served it Christmas Eve to rave reviews from family and friends.

This has to be the best lasagna i have ever had. Only thing i changed is i used 1lb hot Italian sausage and 1/2lb gr beef. Amazing flavors. I love the provolone in this. This is my first time not popping a jar for the sauce and i will never go back. Thank you for sharing this recipe

Pat Milo try it with real mozzarella and ricotta. cottage cheese cannot compare. you can leave out the meat. we like it without meat.

Made this last week, it was the best lasagna I have ever made! So said hubby. Only changes I made was to use Italian sausage instead of the pork, and no boil noodles. I did add about a cup of water to the sauce to provide enough moisture for the noodles. The recipe is a keeper! Yes, it takes longer to cook, but so worth the effort!

Emily and graysmommy it might not be a bad idea to stick with take out if you cant make this delicious lasagna

Made this yesterday. I used 24 oz. pasta sauce with basil instead of plain tomato sauce. I also added 1t oregano. Used non-boil lasagna. Assembled everything a day ahead and cooked it 50 minutes and refrigerated it (covered tightly). The next day, I warmed it 20 minutes at 250 and 10 minutes at 350 until the edges bubbled a bit. It was a huge hit. Next time I will use real mozzarella cheese and shred it myself, but this time I didnt have the energy for that. I think it will make it a 6 star if it has real cheese instead of the prepacked shredded cheese, which has fillers. This photo is a bit deceptive. My pan was filled to the top.

Made this today for all of my family..Everyone loved it! Thanks for sharing the recipe?

I have been making this recipe for years, year-round. It cant be beat. When I dont have ricotta its still wonderful.
