"Once again, my life has been saved by the miracle of lasagna."
-Garfield

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a big portion of lasagna that is rich and cheesy. The best part is that the recipe is so simple and takes about 30 minutes prep time. The hardest part of this is mincing the garlic - or maybe lining the pan with foil, but you will be happy you did because clean up is so much easier.
