Wedding Lasagna image

A family friend made this lasagna for my sister's wedding as her "gift." Her parents owned an Italian deli and each pan was made with extra love and care. Our family and the 50 invited guests were in "awe" of the amazing flavors. Each ingredient complimented the next adding up to the most magnificent meal! This has now been in our family for 35 years. Red wine, a tossed salad and bread always transports me to that wonderful summer afternoon wedding at our parents home where we dined and celebrated in grand style!

This recipe was a bit confusing to follow. The instructions weren't very clear, and I had to make a few guesses. However, the lasagna turned out well in the end, so I'm not complaining.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lasagna came out a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked the noodles. Next time, I'll be sure to cook them for a shorter amount of time.

This lasagna was a bit too rich for my taste. The cheese and sauce were a bit overpowering, and I found it a bit difficult to finish. However, I think people who love rich and cheesy dishes would really enjoy this.
