Wedding Lasagna image

A family friend made this lasagna for my sister's wedding as her "gift." Her parents owned an Italian deli and each pan was made with extra love and care. Our family and the 50 invited guests were in "awe" of the amazing flavors. Each ingredient complimented the next adding up to the most magnificent meal! This has now been in our family for 35 years. Red wine, a tossed salad and bread always transports me to that wonderful summer afternoon wedding at our parents home where we dined and celebrated in grand style!

This lasagna was a disaster! The noodles were overcooked and the sauce was too watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I thought this lasagna was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think it would be better with a little less cheese.

This lasagna was delicious! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add more cheese to the top. Other than that, it was perfect.
