I found this when looking for a good lasagna recipe to cook for a "Little Italy" fundraiser. It, along with my family Chicken Spaghetti recipe, was a huge success and raised lots of money for missions. This is a very meaty and cheesy lasagna with mozzarella, Provolone, ricotta and Parmesan cheese. It takes a bit of time to prepare but the results are well worth the work.

  • 3
    In a large sauce pan, add spaghetti sauce, tomato sauce, and 1 tsp oregano; set aside.
