Lazy-Day Overnight Lasagna image

This is the lasagna recipe that I have used for years. I like the fact that you don't have to cook the noodles first. Found this in one of those cookbooks that you find at the check out stand. My recipe is getting tattered and worn so I thought I would post it here for safe keeping. Cooking time does not include setting overnight. I've posted the recipe to be gluten free, but you could easily use regular noodles in place of the brown rice lasagna.

The only downside to this lasagna is that it's so hard to resist eating it all in one sitting.

The best part about this lasagna is that it's make-ahead. I can make it on the weekend and then just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to eat.
