I loved how simple this recipe is (I'm a picky eater), you can always add things to suite your taste. I cheated and used about 34 oz of prepared spaghetti sauce and added 1/2 cup water. I dipped the lasangna noodles in water for a few seconds before adding to the pot. I also added the topping of mozzarella in the last 30 min.;that way it wouldn't completely melt away. Hard to serve neatly from the pot, but once I managed (with help) to turn the pot over onto a large bowl and after it sat it held together fine. I've made it twice and am very happy. Thank You!

I've been hanging around Zaar for a while, now and have found some really awesome recipes, but more importantly, some really awesome people.
I'd like to thank all of you who have taken the time to try my recipes. Your reviews are a bright spot in my day.
I believe that life is a collection of lessons that we must do our best to learn. One that I'm working on now is not judging those who judge others. I've come across this quote and thought I'd put it here: "The world is long on judgment and short on understanding. Judging is easy and self-satisfying. Understanding requires perspective, experience, and empathy."-Unknown
