Chris's Lasagna

Too Good To Miss

This recipe has been fine-tuned for our taste, but it seems to be a party pleaser.

This recipe does not require a whole lot of preparation and normally can be prepared in a matter of minutes once your lasgna noodles are cooked to aldente.

While the noodles are boiling, Chris prepares the ricotta cheese mixture and lets it set.

She then checks the pasta noodle and when they are ready, off to the strainer for a rinse in cool water.

Having the baking pan ready, a serving size spoon of sauce is placed on the bottom of the pan... - just enough to spread around, and then the construction begins - adding layers of ricotta cheese, pasta noodles, grated cheeses and mozzarella cheese. (see construction plan below).

While nothing is left untasted before serving, this recipe always delivers on taste, looks and style.

I hope you enjoy Chris's lasgna as much as I do.
