Take Something Special for Christmas or Thanksgiving

5 Cheese Lasagna is the perfect recipe to prepare for Thanksgiving when you don’t feel like serving the traditional turkey and mashed potato dinner.  This lasagna is a little bit classy and works perfectly for holiday meals!

And please don’t forget you need a lasagna lugger to take this beautiful lasagna with you to your holiday event!

Prepare The Sauce for Lasagna in Advance

This recipe is easier to prepare if you have the meat sauce prepared ahead of time. If you don’t have time or the inclination to do so, use your favorite prepared pasta sauce instead.

Fortunately, the meat sauce recipe can be made in large batches that freeze beautifully for future use. For best results in this recipe, pulse 4 cups of the chunky meat sauce in a food processor prior to using.

LASAGNA TIP: The key to keeping lasagna from getting soupy is to make sure your noodles are thoroughly dried before assembling your lasagna.  So put an end to that soupy lasagna for good!
