It's going to be an epic lasagna. I'll take pictures when it comes out of the oven. This lasagna is two layers thick, with the following ingredients:
The herbs shown are a starting point. I let the sauce simmer for thirty minutes, and adjusted the herbs until I was satisfied with the flavor. I didn't put sliced black olives into this batch, and no cayenne pepper, as on of my grandkids doesn't like hot, or black. Sheesh. I purposely over spice my sauce as the noodles, neat, and cheese dilute the herbs, and spices if I don't. It all just barely fit in the pan. It's set in a foil lined steel lasagna pan, sealed in foil on top, and sitting on a foil lined cookie sheet. It's baking at 350' F. and will bake for 45 minutes. The oven will then be turned off, and the lasagna left in the oven to remain warm until dinner time. Clean up will be a breeze. I'm definitely lookin forward to dinner tonight.
