One of the rules I live by when planning meals is to make things easy for myself. Lasagna is one of those dishes that solves many menu problems and it is for this reason, I turn to lasagna when I think of easy foods. That's especially true when I'm planning dinner for a crowd.
Are you feeling like you need hearty comfort food? Lasagna, a green salad, and warm garlic bread will certainly fit the bill. Do you need to feed a group of family and friends this weekend? Lasagna, a Caesar salad, and some flavorful focaccia bread will feed a large group.
Do you want to have a ready-to-go meal in your freezer for any occasion? Lasagna is easily reheated in your oven and ready to go when paired with a Caprese salad and warm garlic bread. I love this enameled cast iron pan for my lasagna. It works perfectly when I'm going from the freezer to the oven with my lasagna. That's something I do all the time.
Are you seeing a pattern here? Lasagna is the answer to your needs. Most people love lasagna, so it is a very good option when planning a meal for a group of friends or family. Making lasagna can feel like an overwhelming exercise, but it doesn't have to feel that way. If you plan and approach your preparation in steps, you will find it to be well worth your efforts.
One step in lasagna preparation that I have always found to be tedious is the preparation of the lasagna noodles. One way around this step is to use packaged lasagna noodles that don’t require precooking.

Lasagna Noodle Tip
Another option is to place traditional lasagna noodles in a 13x9 inch pan and cover them with boiling water for thirty minutes. Pat the noodles dry before layering in your lasagna.
I encourage you to make this recipe your own. We like lots of seasoning, so make adjustments as you see fit.
Lasagna makes my life easier at any time of year. Make it. Freeze it. You'll be happy you did!

Freezer Meal Tip
Make this a freezer meal. Lasagna is relatively easy to make and delicious to eat. It’s not a dish you whip together for a quick weeknight dinner. This lasagna freezes very well, so it really is a great dish to make when you have a little time and freeze for later.
