This is my mom's famous lasagna, she has made it for years and will probably kill me when she sees it on here. Of course she is also known to omit a few key ingredients/tips when giving me recipes - she's so cute! It is a little labor intensive but most lasagnas are right? This freezes really well so make two batches freeze one and next time you are in the mood defrost in refrigerator overnight, allow 1 hour to get to room temperature and bake as below.
