This homemade lasagna is an Italian classic turned American favorite that's sure to be an instant addition to your recipe book, I made it for my family and my friends and they want me to make it about every other week. With a made-from-scratch meat sauce that's spruced up, it's a hearty lasagna recipe is packed full of rich, robust flavor. As with most lasagna dishes, this one includes a trio of cheeses — ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan — for gooey goodness that'll have you coming back for more. Plus, no-boil noodles allow for easier preparation that's ideal for busy weeknights.
