I do think that the typical lasagna, the way I used to make it was quite
time consuming. I didn't use meat in it. Only vegetables. It was a lot of
cutting, sautéing and pureeing as I made my own sauce as well. And I hate
the no boil noodles so I would boil them first. It's the kind of thing that
I like to make when there are little kids around because they always seem to
like helping with the assembly. But it also makes a ton!

I have never had any trouble cutting and serving it. The key there is
letting it rest for 10 minutes or so after you take it out of the oven.
