Easy Lasagna Recipe

An easy lasagna recipe? Yes, sometimes this is all you need!
Lasagna is the kind of dish that is so great because it’s a whole meal by itself.

My recipe is very easy, so there is no excuse for not making it.

I always avoided making lasagna at home, because it looked so complicated. Until I came across this easy lasagna recipe. To tell you the truth, the only part that requires a little work is the assembly. But if you get organized, and have all the ingredients laid out, assembly becomes a breeze.

Even so, more often than not, I double the recipe and freeze one of them for a day I’m in a rush.

 Tips:

• When mounting the lasagna, if you break the noodle in half it will be easier to cut and serve once it’s cooked.
• The meat is optional. If you prefer a vegetarian version, just use a hearty tomato sauce.
