Photo and recipe courtesy of: www.copykat.com I have tried this recipe and absolutely loved it, very delicious! It's a nice make-ahead meal too, so you can prep it when you have the time and then bake it for dinner. Served with salad and breadsticks, this meal is a hit for your family or to impress company. Note: If you want to add meat to your lasagna (my husband says it's not lasagna without meat) you can add 1 pound of browned ground beef or 1 pound of browned and chopped Italian sausage to the cheese filling.
Ingredients:extra Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
marinara sauce as desired
1/4 cup fontina cheese
1 cup regular or spinach lasagna noodles
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
OTHER
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 eggs
3 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1/4 cup sun dried tomato, oil packed and minced
CHEESE FILLING
2 cups milk
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup butter
CREAM SAUCE
Directions:
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Cool under cold water and drain. Place 3 lasagna noodles in a 9x13x2 lightly oiled baking dish, overlapping slightly. Spread 1 and 1/2 cups cheese filling over noodles; sprinkle with one cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup fontina cheese. Repeat pasta and cheese layering three more times; top with remaining three lasagna noodles. Spread 1/2 cup of reserved cream sauce over top and cover lightly with foil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and keep warm at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serve topped with hot marinara and Parmesan cheese. (Can be refrigerated for a day before baking if desired)

"I might learn how to cook yet with all this software of yours. You can't believe how much it has helped. I've had friends come over (I'm just a single guy with a dog - but looking for the right woman) and rave about the meals I prepared for them. It's not all that hard if you just follow the directions. In the end I have to tell them my secret, it's not talent - it's your software.
Oh well, the food is still delicious. Now if I could just figure out how to use the dishwasher.
