5 renegade lasagnas to make for National Lasagna Day

It seems like just yesterday we were celebrating National Burger Day (because we were), and already a new food holiday has sprung up in its place. Today is National Lasagna Day, a celebration of the Italian casserole that rendered Garfield a slave to its gooey allure. But why make the usual mess of noodles, ricotta, and tomato sauce when you can try these inventive spins? They're bold, they're delicious, and at least two of them are liable to give you a sugar migraine.
