    My wife prepared this yesterday for my birthday. She doubled the ground beef. The best lasagna I ever had was in Italy. This was right up there. It was so delicious. We avoided the store bought sauce and used our homemade spaghetti sauce. Now, thanks to AB, we have a solid foundation to build own. I highly recommend.

    I made this recipe over the weekend, and everyone loved it. It’s absolutely delicious, and the leftovers were fantastic. The only changes I made were to add spinach and pepperoni to a layer for extra flavor.
