I know this is not a hot weather dish. But we did beat the heat by making the sauce and assembling the lasagna on Friday morning, then refrigerating it. We finished up by baking it at 7 AM on Saturday. Saturday evening we cut ourselves pieces and heated our portion up in the microwave. It was so, so good.

In order to stretch the lasagna into two meals (we love lasagna and could have eaten the whole 9×13 dish in one sitting), I made a big salad and reminded everyone that salad is a part of dinner!
