Go with Frozen Lasagna.

I've tried to make a fresh, hand-made lasagna once in my life. It was a disaster. Meat was everywhere. Ricotta, mozarella, and all sorts of other cheeses were mixed resulting in a disgusting ricotterella combination. So take it from me, when you make Lasagna, save yourself some time, and agony and just buy a frozen one.

In order to understand lasagna we must first get to the core of what makes Lasagna tick. Lasagna was first recorded in history during the reign of Julius Caesar. In fact it was served in Caesar's elementary school, it was his favorite day. Wednesday. Many scholar's agree that the Roman Calendar originally had 8 days, but Casear hated the Swedish Meatballs, which were always served on the 8th day. So he got rid of it. Ironically Caesar's conquest of Europe was to make it to Sweden so he could behead the inventor of his most dispised culinary concoction. When Caesar ascended to the thrown he mandated that every cook in his kitchen know how to make lasagna. If they didn't they'd be cast off to work with his brother, Little Caesar. He enjoyed the less desirable pizza. Don't get me wrong. Normal sized Caesar liked pizza, just not as much as lasagna.

Lasagna was perfected over a thousand years ago, so you'd think I'd be able to handle the task today. But no. It's easily just as tasty. Pop it in the oven, boom it's done. Here's another interesting note on lasagna. Why does it not seem as good at restaurants? It's the only food where if you eat it at home it's better then when you eat out. I think restaurants are on to this frozen thing too. How many of these places actually have time to make lasagna? It takes forever. They don't have the time. So they buy frozen. And that's why you should go with frozen Lasagna.

I've made a few from scratch. You have to take your time and repeat. Tomato sause, meat, lasagna, cheese mix, cheese, repeat. I don't see how you can go wrong.

I think you're on to something about how it's the only dish that tastes better at home than in a restaurant.
