While the flavors are not traditional for lasagna the method is. A traditional lasagna does not have a ricotta filling. Instead it has a cheese sauce, similar to what you might find in a homemade mac and cheese. This recipe combines the old with the new to give a modern twist to a classic. This recipe takes a bit of time, perfect for a slow Sunday. You can also split this recipe into 2 smaller baking dishes. One can be enjoyed on the day it is made and the other can be frozen for the future.
