Hi Shawn,


 RH> Michel Angelo makes a pretty good frozen lasagne. We bought some when
 RH> our local Sam's Club carried them and we needed a quick and easy
 RH> (with bagged salad and garlic bread) meal for our small group at
 RH> church. Sam's has stopped carrying them but I've seen them at Publix

 SH> There are some that are okay, but I don't find it a hard dish to make,
 SH> I can make the pasta in my sleep at this point and that's really the
 SH> most time consuming part.

In this instance, it was actually more economical time wise to buy the
frozen. I would have spent a lot of time and money to do it from scratch
for the size of the group at that time. Usually I did cook something
from scratch but it was something more basic that scaled up in quantity
well.


 RH> made a meat or spinach version once in a while but my "standard"
 RH> version is meat free, meat balls and possibly Italian sausage or
 RH> brachole on the side.

 SH> I have done those as well.  I like them all. :)

My MIL taught me all of that, then I turned around and gave the basic
sauce, meat balls and lasagne recipies to my mom. She tried making it
all in one pan--she'd done her version with cottage cheese and ground
beef that way--and couldn't understand why it wasn't working out. I had
to give her a lesson in how to do it the way my MIL taught me.
