Argentine Lasagna
My family is from Argentina, which has a strong Italian heritage and large cattle ranches. One of our favorite Argentinian recipes is this all-in-one lasagna packed with meat, cheese and veggies. —Sylvia Maenenr, Omaha, Nebraska

Reviews
My kids called this their new favorite lasagna! I had to substitute with pre-cooked regular lasagna noodles instead of the no-cook variety, but they worked fine. I liked the Alfredo.
This was the best! I would use Italian sausage next time.
