Skillet Lasagna

My husband swore for years he didnt like lasagna. Which made exactly no sense as he likes spaghetti, eats ricotta and cottage cheese in other stuff I make and generally likes everything IN lasagna. So I decided to get sneaky and make a skillet lasagna (which, lets face it, is easier anyway). Which he ate and really liked. Then I made the big reveal that hed basically eaten lasgana. And I finally asked, What did you not like about lasagna? The part that gets crusty. :pause: So youve never had NOT BURNED lasagna? Possibly if all hed ever eaten was of the freezer variety, hes never actually had GOOD lasagna. Either way, its off the banned list, much to my relief!
