I'm not sure of the original source of this recipe (Mimi? Mom?) but in our family, it's Mimi's Special Lasagna. It's hearty, yet not overwhelmingly rich. It's sturdy while still having plenty of filling. In other words, it's delicious!
I think it will probably take me just as long to type up the recipe as it did to make it. The recipe can be intimidating, so I usually do it in phases. Day One: make the 2 sauces & Day Two: assemble and bake or freeze to bake later. But on Saturday I made it all in one go (didn't know how long we would have power!) and only using 2 pots, 1 bowl and a baking dish, and it really didn't take that long. So it's doable! Maybe not as a weeknight meal (unless you prep in advance), but I'm happy to realize it doesn't have to be a 2 day process.
