This easy no-boil lasagna was a favorite family recipe when I was growing up and is now a favorite with my family. It is so delicious, and I can honestly say it is the best lasagna I have ever eaten. Even the lasagna in Italy doesn’t compare to this dish. I have cooked this recipe many times over the years as you can tell by my well-worn cookbook.
Since I like a saucier lasagna, I typically make 1 1/2 times the amount of meat sauce the recipe calls for. I don’t think you will be disappointed with this Italian family favorite.
