This is the ultimate lasagna, period! It’s honestly so good I make it even when it’s not Passover ? The matzah is softened by just wetting it – so there’s no boiling noodles – and it absorbs the sauce and holds it’s shape even better than ordinary pasta! #WinWin The olives add just a touch of something extra, that makes this such a flavorful and satisfying dish! Make a double batch, you’ll thank me later!
