Wonderful Lasagna
This is not low fat, and is nothing but pure comfort food. serve with yummy garlic bread and a salad. it also includes 8 hours of sitting time for the sauce, but i think everyone knows how much better italian tastes the day after. this 8 hours of sitting lets the sauce develop. the cook time does not include the 8 hours of chilling time, so plan for that! I make the meat sauce the day before, and assemble the next day.
