It was the sort of thing that was pretty much guaranteed to show up at a
large gathering or pot luck.

The first time I made lasagna I went to the Italian grocery store next
to the house we were ling in. I picked up all the ingredients and went
to the checkout. The cashier asked me if my wife was making lasagna and
I told her no, I was making it. Well.... according to her, I had all the
wrong stuff. She took the stuff back and replaced it with better
quality stuff..... better pasta, better tomato sauce, ricotta instead of
cottage cheese and she got the butcher to grate some mozzarella and
Parmesan, and the recipe was on the lasagna noodle box. IIRC it was
DeCecco.
