Boil lasagna noodles until they are almost done take them out a minute or two early so your pasta doesn't turn to mush from all the liquid.

The sauce is simple enough brown the meats with onions and garlic feel free to add mushrooms or sun dried tomatoes artichoke hearts etc

Drain grease from meat and pat with paper towels to get off extra grease onions should be translucent and garlic cloves softish

Combine meats and veggies and tomato paste sauce and diced and whole peeled and unseeded tomatoes

Cheese layer is special you must first make a basic bechamel sauce for that melt butter put in flour 4 cups heavy cream 2 teaspoons of kosher or sea salt and nutmeg. Also. You can add black pepper fresh ground to taste.

On last layer cover with bag of mozzarella bag of 6 cheese Italian blend and a bag of parmesan.

Heat oven to around 375 cover within tinfoil and bake covered for about an hour keep a watch on it. When it's good and bubbly hot take off foil and melt cheese for approximately 10 minutes

This recipe makes enough to fill two giant deep tin catering pans like you would get at Costco it is made for feeding a lot of people.

Also please be aware this can be made vegetarian by using spinach zucchini and eggplant instead of meat.

You can make this healthy by using skim milk instead of cream ground turkey and low sodium Italian sausage as well as no salt added tomatoes or even fresh tomatoes. It is a grand undertaking but well worth it. It is creamy and rich and utterly affordable if you have to take a dish to a potluck or just a nice gathering or team dinner.
