The boys are into Garfield books these days. I am not a fan but I let them read those books as long as they are also reading other books that I picked from the library. Anyway, lasagna is Garfield's favorite food so they asked if I can cook it. They pretty much involved in my menu planning nowadays.
I tried to cook it a few times and my boys do not like the ricotta/ cottage cheese so I use sliced Muenster Cheese instead. I called this our family lasagna because we tweak the recipe according to our preference. If you are looking for the real classic lasagna please do not follow this recipe but if you trust our taste then please give it a try. :)
