So we did it with vodka sauce until one day I substituted a local companies jarred soup, La Madeleine’s Tomato Basil Soup, for the sauce. It took it to the NTH level and everyone went nuts over it.

I had one made by a friend of my brother with broccoli and carrots that was wonderful. I have never seen a recipe like that before. Unfortunately they are no longer friends so I can't get her recipe.

I've made plenty of lasagna before -- meat, vegetarian, red sauce, white sauce, even crockpot -- and this was completely different from anything else I've made. Adding pesto is brilliant! One thing, though -- at least with the ingredients I used, I don't think the extra 1/4 cup of water was necessary. It was a little soupy. But still delicious!
