An awesome, basic recipe for good ol' lasagna. The sauce is perfect: hearty and flavorful. This recipe was originally from Epicurious.com, but I have edited it somewhat. This variation is quite a bit cheesier, and uses oven-ready, no-boil noodles. I'm not one to cut corners, but in fact, I think the no-boil variety taste just as good as regular noodles. Using them also eliminates one of the more tedious steps in lasagna-making.
