My sister worked at Princeton University for a number of years and this lasagna was served in the cafeteria. She liked it so much that she asked for the recipe. The cook did very well in scaling a recipe intended to feed hundreds to one for a normal-sized gathering, but it does still feed a lot of people and will give you two large pans of lasagna. My Mom requests this every year for her birthday.
