OK, Because I think it is a little boring to write about myself every day, I am going to share my favorite Lasagna recipe here. I used to make this for my roommates back in college, and we loved it. I first got this recipe from the side of the Creamette’s Lasagna box. Oddly enough, I can’t find the recipe on the Creamette’s website. But I did find a copy of it HERE. This is pretty easy to make, tastes great, and will feed many people at the same time. Enjoy!

I can attest as a former roomie that this is an amazing & yummy dish. Thanks Stone Girl for adding this to our repertoire of recipes.
i’m grateful you put this recipe up! I just moved and this recipe is somewhere in my storage space. i also cut it from the side of the box, tried to find it on the Creamette website and almost panicked when i didn’t find it. I also can’t find the Creamette lasagna noodles in Calif stores anymore. So weird. This is truly the very best lasagna I’ve ever had anywhere. Thanks again!
Thanks. I have the same recipe at home and need it on my trip!
Thanks Stone, My house burned down and lost this recipe. My 1st time I made this was 30 years ago and have made it many times since. I lost the recipe 12 years ago and wrote Creamette and they sent it to me with a coupon for free product, Lost it again. Shame you can’t find online though.
This is my go to recipe when I have a dinner party of 6 to 8 people. It is the best.
