I know another lasagna recipe, right? LOL My version is another adaptation of my Mom's. As hard as I try I can never replicate her's 100%. But, I never get any complaints even from my Dad. What sets my recipe apart from others is wine with the ground beef, and adding an egg yolk and parmesan cheese with the ricotta. This makes for a creamy mixture, not a flavorless glob of ricotta cheese. Enjoy!
