I never really counted the layers but I think I usually put in two of pasta
and one of zucchini and perhaps other vegetables. I know I did quite a few
layers with my MIL's pans which probably came from Italy. And I could do
more with the deep foil pans. What is really disappointing to me though is
to get it prepared or in a restaurant and find only two layers of pasta and
very little filling. If you eat my lasagna, you'll get a small piece and
probably a salad alongside and you'll still be stuffed.

I do think that lasagna is one thing that is pretty hard to screw up.
Except that I did do it when I used the no boil noodles. Never again! But
you can basically put whatever you want in there and because there is so
much sauce and usually cheese, it all gets covered up and nobody will notice
a broken noodle or the fact that your layers didn't quite come out the way
you wanted them to.
