Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
If you use regular lasagna noodles, let the lasagna sit for a while before baking. The lasagna can be made the day before and refrigerated until ready to bake. If freezing, bake the lasagna, cool, then freeze. Thaw in refrigerator and reheat (covered) in 350 oven. I usually substitute Italian blend shredded cheese for the mozzarella.

To make a vegetable version. Omit the meat and make a mixture of vegetables chopped small: Onions, garlic, carrots, celery, bell pepper, mushrooms, squash, zucchini, etc. Cook in olive oil until tender. Add salt and pepper to taste before adding marinara and proceeding with the rest of the recipe.
