Dear Catherine, Looks so comforting! Love Lasagna and this recipe is filled with many delicious ingredients, that you can't help but love it. I have used the no boil noodles and they are so good, not sticky or rubbery. They take less time and look much better. Have to try this recipe for sure. Thanks for sharing dear friend. Have a blessed week ahead...Dottie 🙂
