All quoted! Looks like many cooks nowadays consider lasagne two larg noodles
with something between them and something on top. Next time I'll make
lasagne I'm gonna take a picture

Much depends on what you make from scratch: I see you use different

lasagna with mozzarella and/or ricotta and a tomato sauce
