"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower." -Albert Camus

The refrigerator light goes on...

This is a great lasagna that takes about 40 minutes of hands on cooking time but is worth every one of those minutes. It is rich and comforting but the best part is leftovers. It is worth spending the extra time to make two pans as it will keep well for a few days and also can be frozen for later.
