I would like one, too. We keep buying the Stouffer’s when my husband gets a ‘yen’, and I’m always thinking that we could do as well or better ourselves, probably for a lot less money - and freeze it; but it’s something that I’ve never tried.

Anybody have a great Lasagna recipe?

My Nonna was actually an awful cook, but luckily Mt zias (aunts) were wonderful cooks. I couldn’t replicate their dishes since the ingredients weren’t available for the longest time, although I see more imported Italian staples now.

I’ve made this lasagna many times - it has 5 stars and almost 10k reviews, so maybe it lives up to it’s name as the World’s Best Lasagna (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/23600/worlds-best-lasagna/). It’s heavy on the sauce and light on the ricotta, but people I have over seem to like it better than the more cheesy one I throw together. The sauce is really good and I use it on pasta too.

I made extra Bolognese sauce the other day and just layered the Bolognese with lasagna noodles and bechamel for something like a pasticciata that my Zia Graziella used to make. She had a Barbie-sized kitchen and cooked the most scrumptious meals for 10-12.
