Classic Cheesy Lasagna image

This is very good and easy to make. It comes from my 1981 cookbook "Favorite Brand Name Recipes". I have been making this for years. It is a favorite of my family. Please note that I alter some of the ingredients to my taste. I usually add more parsley, oregano, garlic powder, so alter to your taste. Enjoy!

This lasagna was a bit bland, but it had potential. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less chili flakes next time.
