It was really yummy. First time making it and all turned out. Could add garlic etc for a number of options. A nice twist on eating lasagna twice a month to switch from lasagna to roll-ups.

I've made this 3 times now and every time it's a success! It is a bit time consuming, but worth every minute. I got this recipe out of "Taste of Home, Winning Recipes."

I thought I would leave the Greek Cuisine this time around and share this very old delicious Italian Lasanga Recipe, that was given to my mother from her Italian friend Maria many many many moons ago. Our next door neighbors in the states was this wonderful and very happy Italian family. The mother’s name was Maria, can’t remember what the father’s name was and the son’s name was Rosario.As children growing up in the states, most of the time we would play outside, on the street along with the other kids on our block and so did Rosario. Every afternoon/evening a little before 6, Maria would come out yelling “Rosario Manga” hahahaha till this day I still remember how Rosario would respond with “Mama ooohhhh” he would say something in Italian, stomp his feet, cross his arms, and then he would start running so that he would not have to go in and eat. Maria would then become furious and start yelling in Italian and of course then come running after him.My mother and Maria became very good friends, we lived next to each other for so many years, they would exchange recipes, go shopping together, help each other out in the gardens, just being there for one another. What was really unbelievable was that neither one of these two ladies spoke good English, one Italian and the other Greek, and yet they communicated in their own little way. I found that to be amazing!!!This recipe was originally passed on to Maria from her mother, and Mara gave this recipe to my mom.

For Christmas dinner.Since you will use no-boil lasagna noodles, the meat sauce should contain more liquid than traditional lasagna. (That is why 1 cup of water is added to the sauce and the lasagna needs to be sit for about 20 minutes before baking, so the noodles will soak up the liquid.)If you add 1 cup of water, some ketchup should be added as well. If you are not adding water, just a small amount or no ketchup should be added. Recipe by Yuki!

Basically kept what I liked of my mom's version and added what I like as well.

My family enjoys lasagna night. Anytime there is a family function they always ask me to make the lasagna. And to really get fancy we start off with a nice Caesar salad. Trust me there's rarely ever leftovers. Hope you enjoy and please feel free to leave comments.

Not a fan of ricotta cheese that is in most lasagna recipes? Try this delicious recipe you will love the ricotta substitute!

Making for my wife Mother's Day. ❤

I like to use left overs to make new meals. So if you make spaghetti one night and you use up the spaghetti and have a lot of meat sauce left over try this recipe out.

My family & I don't like the sandy taste that the Ricotta cheese has, so i experimented with cream cheese. It has a creamy texture. My family loves it. Everytime a birthday party comes around, everyone requests my signature lasagna.

I learned from an Italian mamma that it takes 2 days to make lasagna, but I hadn't had the chance to try it until now.Lasagna noodles made from eggs are good. Also, even if the package claims that you don't need to parboil the noodles, do it anyway.Ground beef: If you buy meat that is not ground, you can chop it up into small pieces.I recommend the delicious "Nagano Tomato" for the tomato purée.
