RESTAURANT-STYLE ITALIAN LASAGNA
This lasagna recipe is a little time consuming, but if you enjoy making great, authentic, Italian lasagna for family and friends, it's pretty hard to beat this one. ***I prefer to use ricotta cheese for this dish. It's just creamier. Cottage cheese still works very well.***
