I used leftover roasted garlic mashed potatoes use your favorite. This has texture, creaminess and richness from the cheeses and potatoes. Tiny chucks of veggies. The Solemio noodles that I used are fresh and consist of 8 wide noodles 2 per layer so adjust if using different brand. This lasagna has 4 layers of noodles. I just dip the fresh noodle to remove some starch and soften lightly. If not using fresh do follow the package directions.Served with Aromatic Herbed Bread Filled With Prosciutto Ingredients:
