How to Make Lasagna: The ingredients in this lasagna are very flexible. Add more or less of any of these ingredients and it is sure to be delicious. Even if your layers are not perfectly even it will all meld in the oven and still be delicious. This recipe is my favorite but you can change it up anyway you like. For a vegetarian version, minus the meats and add more spinach, mushroom and other veggies. For gluten free use gluten free pasta. For dairy free substitute or eliminate the cheeses. The sauce can be made and cooked in an hour, but if you have the time let it simmer for at least 6 hours and it will be absolutely amazing! So many options!

When its all done bake for about 45 minutes to an hour. Just enough time to meld all the ingredients. Make sure the middle is hot and the cheese is melted. Other than the eggs all the ingredients are safe to eat as is so an hour should be enough time to finish it. Serve up with a big salad or take to a pot luck. Cut into several servings and freeze for many meals. The perfect dish to make ahead of time. Enjoy!
