This recipe was clipped from packaging of some kind, likely a box of Mueller’s lasagna noodles since it’s a specified ingredient. Date unknown. I’ve typed it below along with a scanned copy.

Thank you so much for posting this recipe! It is indeed from the Mueller lasagna box circa 1966 or thereabouts. I’ve been making this recipe for over 50 years and it never fails to get rave reviews. I always double the sauce recipe and save the remaining sauce for the next batch or to serve over rotini pasta. The sauce freezes up beautifully.

I have been making this Lasagna recipe for 40 years. And it always gets rave reviews. Still have the clipping from a box of Mueller’s Lasagna from 1975.

My Dad had used the recipe since I was a kid. I’m 47 years old today. I.asked my Dad for the recipe years ago & I also use the same recipe. This is the best lasagna ever. The only thing my Dad and I both do different with the recipe is add more mozzarella cheese to it.

Thanks for posting this recipe! Exactly what Vicki wrote above. My family loves this. “I still have the clipping from a box of Mueller’s Lasagna from 1975.” It’s tried and true.

I have always added sugar and eggs to the riccotta mixture, my son’s grandma taught me how to make lasagna 40yrs ago for every container of riccotta I use at least 2 eggs and sugar to make it little sweet. I make 2 big Pan’s and I use 8 eggs,it makes it setup nicely so when you cut it doesn’t slide all over the place and don’t forget the sugar! You won’t regret it!

Thank you so very much for this post. I lost my box recipe and have been searching for years. It came to mind again today and I thought, “well I haven’t searched in awhile so let’s try again”. I’m so happy I did.

Blessings to you!!! You have made me very happy.

I have been making this recipe for many years; I cut the recipe off of a box of lasagne noodles. It is easy and delicious. I recommend making a double batch of sauce because it is great on any pasta.

Yes, this is an excellent, old fashioned lasagna! I have been searching for this and I am glad I found it! I dislike all the new recipes, shortcuts, weird, crappy ingredients, low fat blah, blah, blah. They taste dull, flat and uninspiring. It’s lasagna people!! If you are on a diet, don’t eat it!
