klint's homemade lasagna
My son decided to do his own version of homemade lasagna, remembering a time that I had made it when he was little (mine came out of the Better Homes and Garden cookbook from the '70's). He is a great cook and came up with this recipe, then posted it on his facebook page. A lot of people, me included, begged him for a written recipe, which he finally wrote up.

How To Make klint's homemade lasagna

Step 3Coat a 9x13 baking dish with the olive oil. Spread 1 cup of sauce mix on the bottom. Top with 3 of the uncooked lasagna noodles. Don't worry, they will soak up liquid when you place the dish in the oven.
