I have been making this lasagne receipe for over 30 years, and have been told by everyone who has eaten it. "Thats the best lasagne I've ever eaten". Use the best cheeses you can afford. This receipe can be baked in 2 smaller dishes - freeze one for later.

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

In the bottom of a greased lasagne baking dish put a thin layer of sauce, then noodles, then a layer of cheeses. Repeat these layers twice, ending with a layer of sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes - let stand for 15 minutess before serving.
