Easy Lasagna Recipe

Did you know it’s National Lasagna Day on Sunday? If not, no worries, I’m sharing our family’s favorite lasagna recipe today!

My mom makes Lasagna for the family all the time. It’s one of those meals that the entire family loves. It can usually feed us all too, which is a bonus since the family is pretty large. Not sure how that will be in a few years when there are even more kids, but I’m sure we’ll have to start doubling the recipe soon.

Over the years my mom has tried a TON of Lasagna recipes, but recently she has been using the same one because all of us kids loved it. It has become our favorite Lasagna, and my mom loves it just because it’s an easy Lasagna recipe.

We always make the same sides to go with this recipe – garlic bread, Fried Zucchini and Tortellini Salad. We may add a small fruit salad with it, but that would be if we were trying to eat healthy (which never seems to happen on Sunday Dinner!) LOL!
