You can always add a little garlic in the meat sauce if you like, but I never put it in because my mom is allergic to it. This lasagna is seriously the best I've ever had and is a favorite with the roomies. It's also equally (or maybe even more) awesome the next day. You can also cut it into individual squares and freeze them for busy times like finals. Enjoy!
O. M. G.!!! It is amazing. I stole some when she wasn't home and then another time, she just gave it to me. I devoured it. The time I stole it, I was an idiot and microwaved it for 8 minutes so when it came out, it was charred/burned/completely ruined. And it still tasted awesome; I scraped it all off my plate and ate all of it. That's how good it was.
