Garfield's Extra Cheese Lasagna


hello, and hows every one today? I can tell I'm feeling very good except for the few sneezes which are a direct result of being in contact with minimum one drop of rain, forgive my physique mixed with physics, its just that I love rain enormously but cant stand the after effects, but a good dish always brings the better in me, so today I'm going to share with you "Garfield's lasagna", as you may know (and if you don't know let me tell ya) that this week we are celebrating cartoon special and once again there was a tie between poll results  i.e Garfield's Lasagna and Scooby's Surprise Snack, but since Garfield was on the top of the list; I decided to go with it. One thing more I totally adore cheese so you may find this recipe a little bit deviant from classical lasagna but then again.... isn't it supposed to be Garfield's Lasagna..... Enjoy!
