Recipe Notes

This is a big portion of lasagna that is rich and cheesy. The best part is that the recipe is so simple and takes about 30 minutes prep time. The hardest part of this is mincing the garlic or maybe lining the pan with foil (you’ll be happy you did because clean up is so much easier).

"Once again, my life has been saved by the miracle of lasagna."
