Classic Lasagna Recipe

Classic Lasagna Recipe

If you want to make lasagna from scratch, this traditional lasagna recipe is truly the most simple lasagna I have ever made. We make a double batch of meat sauce and freeze half of it. Lasagne is such an amazing comfort food. It's hearty, filling and the lasagna layers can be done however you desire although we usually end up with 4 to 5 layers depending on the pan. Easy lasagna recipes are my favorite because I don't have hours to spend making food which means more time for my family and the things that I love to do. This meat lasagna recipe fits the bill because it is easy to make and tastes amazing. We hope that you love this Classic Lasagna Recipe.

    I like to make an eggplant sauce when we have an over supply of eggplant, peppers and tomaotes from the garden. I make a huge pot and freeze 3/4 of that for use during the winter. I like the Classico Alfredo sauce to use for making ‘White Pizza’. Haven’t tried the pizza sauces yet, but I will since that is a always keeped stocked pantry item in our house.

    I love their Alfredo sauce and I like to add mushrooms and sausage. It’s a great sauce, it sounds goofy but I also use it on eggs.

    In the summer we just put in some ground hamburger in the sauce for spaghetti- winter time though when there isnt a concern about heating the kitchen up I love making lasagna. Usually I will put in some tomatoes that have been preserved from the garden and any other garden vegetable handy. We also experiment with meats by subbing venison mixed with sausage.
