Easy Lasagna

This easy lasagna recipe comes highly recommended! The prepared sauce makes it quicker and easier to fix than most lasagna recipes, and the results are better, our tester reports, than many restaurant versions. A good do-ahead dinner, too.

We love this recipe for Blue-Ribbon Deep-Dish Apple Pie from our very own Amy Traverso’s award-winning “Apple Lover’s Cookbook.” Add a slice of sharp cheddar cheese for an authentic New England apple experience.
