Now granted, it doesn't look the best, BUT the flavor was quite good. ( I think I should have taken it out about 5-10 minutes earlier) Still not "THE ONE" I'm looking for however! Which I was lucky enough to have enjoyed over thirty years ago in Paderno del Grappa, a small town in northern Italy. If only I would have been smart enough at that time to ask for the recipe! This recipe doesn't call for the cottage cheese you see in every Lasagna recipe - which is why it is labeled a creamy lasagna. After reading some of the reviews, I only use half of the sour cream listed.
The meat sauce was really good - I added some Italian Seasoning and also cooked the onion with the ground beef to get the sweetness of them. Instead of using the standard lasagna noodles I always use I tried these instead....
These will be my lasagna noodles from now on..they are the perfect size, does not require the 'boiling' method as with the regular version, and they tasted just as good if not better! And I am all for the ease of trying a new product... at least new to me!
The recipe, which you can find HERE.. makes two 8x8 pans. The other is now in the freezer to use another time, which by then I will have remembered to at least have some garlic bread on hand!

HAVE to share with you all a birthday gift that arrived today from one of my silly sweet and savory friends!! Since she couldn't or wouldn't send me the gift she said she would (evidently it was too hard to wrap) this was a consolation!! Everyone needs a calendar for the new year....
I'm really looking forward to May of next year.....
Thanks for Stopping By ....
