My husband and I love lasagna. My kids love it too, once I cut of all their lasagna because the noodles are too hard to cut. But… then the cheese falls off and there are usually tantrums. So I decided I wanted to make lasagna a little more kid friendly. So I used elbow noodles in place of the regular ones! They loved it and it tastes amazing!
