    Delicious!!! This recipe is so big that you need 2 pans to make it. One for now and the other for later!!I made it without the red wine, although I had it on hand. And I omitted the green pepper. But all in all it was very tasty and very filling. I also used whole wheat lasagna.

    Karen’s Lasagna, A lasagna fashioned after my own recipe #139956 As with that recipe, I usually just dump everything in the pot without measuring it, but decided that if I wanted to post it, I had better measure so that others can at least have a starting point Tweek it to your own tastes by adding either spicy or sweet Italian sausage I like the bite of spicy The spices listed here are approximate Taste often and add more as needed Just remember, that although you can add spices all day long, you can never remove them once they are in the sauce so add a little at a time, simmer a short time, taste and add more if desired Make the recipe your own in the comfort of your kitchen by taking liberties with it I won’t mind in the least It is what I would do if this recipe was posted by you , Delicious!!! This recipe is so big that you need 2 pans to make it One for now and the other for later!!I made it without the red wine, although I had it on hand And I omitted the green pepper But all in all it was very tasty and very filling I also used whole wheat lasagna , This was absolutely delicious! used spicey Italian sausage and it gave the sauce the kick we liked without adding the red pepper flakes Toward the end, after tasting, I added a 1/4 tsp of salt and the spinach leaves I will be using this as my recipe for lasagna and spaghetti sauce from now on and will add the mushrooms which I forgot to buy this time Thanks Karen for a delicious recipe that my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed and look forward to making again and again!!
