Sausage and Sundried Tomato Lasagna

This Lasagna recipe is much more complicated then that last one. I got the bulk of the recipe from a Cooking Light magazine, and tweaked it just a bit when I prepared it a second time. The original recipe did not call for meat or sun dried tomato's. I feel the addition of both of these ingredients adds wonderful flavor that should not be missed.
This lasagna authentic and absolutely to die for. This dish is recommend for people that already love to cook. It take much time to prepare and requires much love from the chef. You have to pay attention when going forward with each step from preparing the mixtures to assembly, it does make you work.
Do not feel daunted if you want to try something new and exciting in your kitchen, somthig that is absolutely gourmet. I offer you the challenge. You will not be disappointed with the outcome. This dish far exceeds any lasagna I have had at a restaurant, and I know with your love, it will far exceed your expectations.
