My Favorite Homemade Lasagna Recipe
Lasagna is Italian comfort food at it’s best. To press your fork through all those layers of pasta as the sauce and cheese glides down the slides then it’s all lifted so longingly into your mouth. Bite, after bite, after bite. Each bite savored and appreciated. One word, YUM! This lasagna does take a bit of time and effort, but it is most definitely worth it. With flavors this good you’ll have have a hard time stopping at one serving of this tempting lasagna.
I considered making this recipe to be with fresh herbs as I had fresh basil, oregano and parsley on hand and wanted to use it up, but I figured most of you probably don’t keep fresh herbs on hand so I went the simpler version by using dried herbs. If you’d like to, you very well could replace some of the dried herbs with fresh (I’d say triple the amounts if using fresh in place of dried). Also, feel free to add more cheese if you’d like, because really can you have too much cheese when it comes to lasagna =)? For a quick side to serve along this lasagna I’d recommend steamed broccoli with a touch of browned butter and Mizithra cheese or purchase a salad blend and top it with fresh tomato slices and a creamy pesto salad dressing. Enjoy!
