Many years ago, I had a friend that made the most incredible lasagna. She was half Italian and she used a handed down, family recipe. I'm sorry, I dont have the recipe, but I do remember some of the ingredients. One of the most unusual ingredients was coarsely chopped, hard boiled eggs, which made up one of the layers. There was a layer of Italian sausage in there too. She had a couple of kinds of cheese in it, and lots of it. She also used regular lasagna noodles and not those "no-boil' kind. The finished lasagna was firm, but not dry. I hope that is of some help.
