Sometimes a whole lasagna is just too much. One day when I craved lasagna, I devised this simple recipe and it worked out beautifully. Perfectly sized lasagne for a romantic meal. But since I am an empty nester now, finding times I can bake that and use it effectively has become more difficult. If you love lasagna as much as we do, but only make it when you have family and friends over because it makes too much or takes too much time, give this recipe a try.
