Patti's Quick Lasagna

This is an awesome recipe my mother-in-law gave me when I first got married. My husband loves lasagna, but I hate boiling the noodles first. I usually eyeball the ingredients rather than measure, and I'm pretty heavy handed with the cheese :). This is also a great dish to take to someone who has had a baby, or the elderly and shut-ins because it holds well in the fridge or freezer and you just pop in the oven.
