This is the best lasagna I have ever had! I left out the carrots but followed everything else exactly. It was a little expensive and time consuming but so worth it for my fiance's birthday dinner. Even my 8 year old picky daughter liked this and she is a chicken nugget/pizza kinda kid! The alfredo recipe that was recommended was also awesome and I will definitely keep that one! I am very happy I tried this, thanks!
