I received this recipe from my mother, who lives in an area known for its fine asparagus. You can assemble to casserole the night before and refrigerate. Just remove it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. -Bev Angelbrandt, Calgary, Alberta

The asparagus in this lasagna was a bit tough. I think I would blanch it before adding it to the lasagna next time.

This lasagna was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more garlic and herbs next time.
