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 definitely fits the bill because it is easy to make and tastes amazing. We hope that you love this Classic Lasagna Recipe.
