Gourmet's Lasagna Bolognese Is to Die For

About a month ago, I got an intense craving for lasagna.

About a month ago, I got an intense craving for lasagna. I spent way too much time searching for the perfect recipe and I finally settled on Aida Mollenkamp's Italian sausage and three cheese variation.

While this lasagna was delicious, I found myself, a week later, reading the new Gourmet magazine devoted to Italian-American cooking.
