Cabinkat's Cream Cheese Pepperoni Lasagna
This is by far my families favorite lasagna recipe. i have been making it for over 15 years. it may seem complicated, but it's really not. you can use low fat ingredients in this recipe without losing flavor. i don't recommend non-fat and i don't recommend turkey pepperoni. i also use oven ready lasagna noodles.
