Recipe Of The Day: Lasagna

I got an email from an old friend who said they needed a good Lasagna recipe. This one here is a solid hit every single time I make it, because it is simple yet full of flavors you have to usually cook for hours to get in a dish. In my book the Recipe Of The Day: Lasagna is even better, the next day.
Enjoy.
