Artificial Lasagna

Give this recipe a try, according to our machine learning model it should—at a bare minimum—be edible. Well, to be specific the model just generated the amounts and ingredients to use, we had to infer what it might have wanted us to do with it.

Also, we should also be clear, the original recipe contained a near lethal level of salt, which we've also reduced to safe levels. Cheers.

Also also, it serves about 10-12 (or 6-8 if really hungry).
