EZ Lasagna My Way

I have a love-hate relationship with lasagna.

I hate the difficulty of making it and I usually don't like the taste of fresh lasagna right out of the oven.

I love re-heated lasagna (even if you re-heat in in a microwave parching machine). Something tastes better the second time around.

So here it is my EZ (Easy is just too simple a word while EZ looks strong and powerful) recipe, including the refrigerator part.
