Classic Lasagna

For Christmas last year John’s mom gave me the pasta attachments that go with my Kitchen Aid mixer. To say I was excited was an understatement. Let’s just say  my first attempt at making pasta from scratch though was quite interesting. If any of you have these attachments, you know that if you don’t tighten them to the mixer they spin too fast. AKA pasta flying everywhere…AKA happy doggies, but not a happy cook! After a few tries I had some beautiful lasagna noodles and my homemade marinara sauce.

As fun as making noodles & sauce from scratch was I know most people do not have the time to do so. And trust me after I perfected this recipe it is hard to go back to making it from scratch. Lasagna is just one of those classic dishes that you can make so many different ways with white sauce and chicken or even vegetarian (John is not a fan of this kind obviously).

I chose to use Giada’s Creamy Tomato Sauce from Target and I think it was just what the dish needed. Let’s just say it was so good that everyone went back for seconds!
