Well we had a crowd of Guido's friends here a little while ago and our first course was pasticcio (lasagna). I did 2 as well instead of one and it took the same amount of time. We use gas though so I don't know if that makes a difference. I also use fresh pasta. It only take about 35 minutes total with the fresh pasta and using gas. But then again I used the traditional recipe used here in Italy and I am pretty sure it is different than the italian north american version.
