Classic Lasagna

The best part about winter, is lasagna.  

Hands down.

And a winter without lasagna would just be depressing.

It makes cold weather, icy roads, windchills, and shorter days, bearable.   
Layers of pasta sauce, noodles and four different cheeses all bubbly and hot. I would eat this dish @ any point over the course of the year, but it tastes even better when the mercury is below zero.  It is also the one leftover that tastes even better on day 2.

The only dilemma now?  Do I go for thirds or save some for tomorrow?  Leftovers it is.
