Traditional Lasagna

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.

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.

Works great in a slow cooker

I love lasagna, and I love cheese and I love fresh mushrooms and veggies! This is just my representation of some of my favorite things put tpgether!

I added ground beef to some store-bought meat sauce to add more flavor and make it more filling.Since this can be made with the microwave and toaster-oven, it's so easy. If you can, garnish with parsley. Recipe by LimeLunch

On the back of a box of Mullers Pasta, there is a recipe for an "easy lasagna bake." I've tweaked their recipe over the years. I like hot Italian sausage in mine but it's also good with sweet sausage, ground beef, or even ground turkey. This is very filling and affordable. It costs under $15.00 to make. It's about the size of a family-sized lasagna dinner you find in the frozen section at the supermarket but tastier. #Fakeaway frozen lasagna.

My husband loves this and I haven’t cooked a lasagna noodle in decades lol

So this was so much less hassle than regular lasagna .. Um how perfect?!

My family loves pasta meals especially this simple yet filling dish. Pair it with some garlic bread and a side salad and you have a meal your family will be begging for more of!!!

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.

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

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

A rich and creamy take on an old favorite.#may2026

My boyfriend asked me what my mom cook for me as a child and I remember we had lasange lots when she was working because she could store two or three in the freezers when she got busy during the week. She would prep it on a Sunday and we would just heat it in the oven when she had no time to cook. So I decided to make it one day. Pretty basic recipe.

One of my favorite dish. It really doesn't take long to make. My family really appreciate it and enjoy it. They still want more.

My husband told me he wanted to eat some lasagna, so I made this lasagna after much trial and error. It is surprisingly delicious.When cooking the white sauce in the microwave, stir it 2-3 times during the process so that it doesn't get lumpy. It tastes even better if you add tabasco sauce.

Lasagna has been a family favorite for a long time, specifically for individuals who are limited in their cooking time or abilities. This recipe is guaranteed to taste delicious and satisfy your cravings. The best part about it is that it contains no meat yet everyone loves it !(*) Adding 1/2 pack of Gardein plant-based ground be'f instead of the whole pack will make the sauce less thick and the lasagna more juicy. Recommended for people who prefer it that way.

I wanted lasagna but didnt have the regular ingredients so i tried something different and it came out awesome.

This has become a beloved recipe over the years. Most of my recipes have incorporated steps that take some time to put together but the results are worth it. I usually start my sauce and mix my ricotta early afternoon. Then I just start my Bechamel and cook noodles when close to dinner time. Both Bechamel and noodles take the same amount of time to prepare. Then assembly is a breeze.

This is a Mexican take on lasagna. Corn tortillas stand in for the pasta. It's a quick layering of seasoned beef with lots of melted cheese for a sputhwestern flavor.

I love to grill the eggplant with olive oil, salt and garlic powder,but always like to try different recipes and add more ingredients, and try to avoid meet,this is the perfect and delicious way.

This is a rich comfort food for a lazy saturday. Delightfully tasty and worth a try. A restaurant like meal at home.

Lasagna was always a staple in my parents household when I was growing up (my dad was Italian) and now my kids love it too. This recipe isn't as intricate as my dad's traditional recipe, but it still has a ton of flavor and is slightly easier to throw together.

This has to be one of my favorite dishes. Takes a little bit of effort but its well worth every bit!

This recipe is a little more involved than most slow cooker recipes. I actually prefer to prepare this recipe the night before, then stick the slow cooker insert into the fridge until I'm ready to start it. For the lasagna noodles, just use the normal variety, not the no-boil ones.
