The homemade sauce for this lasagna is also great on other pasta. Best made in an electric skillet, this dish works better with cooked noodles. Making the sauce is time-consuming and labor-intensive but totally worth it. I've had a lot of lasagna since the first time I had this dish, but nobody's is better.
