"Best" isn't in the title for nothing. We believe this lasagna recipe is the best for three reasons: it's easy to prep, has minimal surplus ingredients, and has the perfect al dente noodle texture. While it's hearty and savory, a dash of parsley and basil on top gives it a fresh, herbal taste. Pair with a simple salad and crusty bread.
