New Food Friday #12 ~ Lasagne

Yes yes, I know, I know. I've done Lasagne before.. but this one is the actual "put in the pan" kind. AND, my favourite part, it's from my parents very first cookbook when they bought their first house. It's from a book called "The Best of Bridge". I made it on Tuesday and it was wonderful!

Miranda's Mix Ups: I'm pretty sure there was more than 28oz of tomatoes in the can and a few other things were off. I used shredded mozzarella cheese and no creamed cottage cheese instead I used normal cream cheese. It was really good.
