I just made it for the first time this week, plus dairy free. After giving my daughter maybes when she'd ask because I thought it would be harder.

I used premade pasta and sauce though, which made it even easier. Browned some ground meat, set it aside to saute some celery, onions, and carrots for a bit, then re-added the meat, then the sauce, simmered for a bit, then built the lasagna layers. Normally I'm not a fan of that dairy free cheese, but it turned out pretty good overall.

    Mine's been basically dairy free for a while. My wife is allergic to cow dairy so I use a bechamel made with oat milk. I do sprinkle in some pecorino but I bet I could get the exact same salty umami notes with msg or something.

    Glad you finally embraced the lasagna. Keep layering

    Best part is tonight we can have leftovers. As much as I love cooking, I also love not cooking.

    But I just remembered I took some stewing beef out of the freezer the other day, so I should probably use that.

    I legitimately think the best lasagna is leftover lasagna. Throw in in the oven for a little while, maybe under the broiler for a bit, and I think it's better than fresh.
