By far the best lasagna I have made. After a few tries and changes I think everyone will agree this is the best lasagna. I have noticed lots of people posting this recipe on their websites and claiming it as theirs or family favorites of years, right down to the photo I took on my own dishes. I will take this as a form of flattery on a recipe that is excellent. So I have now added the description so you all will know where the original came from
