Why we love this Easy Lasagna Pasta Bake Recipe
As a young child, having lasagna for supper was almost like having a special meal. It usually would take A LOT of time, especially if it were just my Mom cooking it. I would often help her in the kitchen to speed up the process, and sometimes even taking a pinch of cheese when she wasn't looking.
Back in the days there was only a few ways to cook lasagna before technology came about, and most ingredients were hand made and highly expensive.
But as time grew on, technology and new cooking methods came about, we learned more simpler ways to create the same amazing meals in less time and with less money involved.
