LASAGNA (CLASSIC MUELLER'S RECIPE)
This is the basic recipe from Mueller's box with a couple substitutions to suit my taste and laziness. Makes one deep 13x9 pan. If you make ahead and refrigerate, it will take longer to bake and will be drier.

MUELLER'S QUICK "NO BOIL" CHEESY LASAGNA
This recipe came from the back of a Mueller's noodles box. I love it because it is both delicious and quick! No need to boil the lasagne noodles. Just layer the lasagne and pop it in the oven! You can save even more time by using prepared sauce (see tip at bottom of recipe). This lasagne can be made with or without meat. You can also add more vegetables to boost the healthy quotient!

Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses in your lasagna. This will give the dish a more complex flavor. Some good options include mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, and Asiago.
- Don't overcook the noodles. They should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Make sure to use a good quality tomato sauce. This is the base of the lasagna, so it's important to use a sauce that you enjoy.
- Don't skimp on the cheese. Lasagna is a rich dish, so don't be afraid to use a lot of cheese.
- Let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the lasagna to set.
