Better Homes Lasagna

Betty's recipe for Lasagna- from Better Homes and Gardens original cook book

{started making this Lasagna recipe in high school and made it with cottage cheese… since there were 8 children in my family, which was cheaper.}

one clove garlic

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

1 tablespoon basil
