Chicken Lasagna

Recipe by

Lasagna is a layered pasta sheet spread with meat sauce and cheese. Extremely sinful but delish to eat. Lasagna is my kind of comfort food to have on a movie night at home. You can add your favourite mushrooms or vegetables with any kind of meats. For vegetarian options, you can omit the meat and use tomato based sauce.
