Here is a pretty good recipe for a quick & easy basic lasagna that leaves a lot of room for you to add your own special touches. For example next time I make it I am going to add Italian Sausage and possibly some eggplant. It is very easy to make and I think you could probably prep most of it ahead of time then cook it for the four to five hours that it recommends.
