"Lasagna's always been a family favorite," explains Catherine Yoder of New Paris, Indiana. "But since my children and husband aren't very fond of some veggies, I started 'sneaking' them into this dish and they hardly notice! It feeds a crowd and is great for potlucks or family reunions."

SNEAKY LASAGNA

Sneaky Lasagna image

I call it sneaky because my guy claims that he HATES zucchini. One day I had just one lonely zucchini and snuck it in there. He LOVED it, although he was a little upset when I told him what was in it. But hey every time I make it he eats it like it is the best thing he has ever tasted.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different cheeses. A combination of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan is a classic, but you can also try other types of cheese, such as cheddar, Gouda, or feta.
Make sure to layer your lasagna evenly. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly and that each bite is packed with flavor.
If you're short on time, you can use no-boil lasagna noodles. These noodles don't need to be cooked before they're assembled, which can save you a lot of time.
Lasagna is a great dish to make ahead of time. You can assemble it the day before you want to serve it, or even freeze it for later.
