    The lasagna's consistency was perfect. It held up amazingly when served. I cooked closer to 40 mins+an additional 10 mins at 375. I also used the 'no boil' noodles, and I followed the instructions on the noodle package in terms of the layers. I doubled the Ricotta- which in hindsight was probably too much Ricotta. I made his sauce, but I only was able to simmer for 35 minutes. I continued to simmer it while we ate (what was left of it and it was so delicious about 1.5 hrs in. Next time, I will take the time out to really let the flavors sit. I'll also stick a carrot in the sauce to fight the acidity rather than using the sugar, because in my opinion, the sugar was pretty blatant in the recipe, despite the small amount. The sauce was not acidic at all (and I'm 8 mos pregnant so no hearburn from lasagna is a miracle! I used ground beef, but I think that the fat and flavors from Italian sausage would be great! I can't wait to tweak it and make it even better next time. Thanks Emeril! :

    My family and I thought this recipe was fantastic! I have tried many lasagna recipes over the years and have never found one that I wanted to stick with until now! I cooked the noodles before baking it and the lasagna's consistency was perfect. I was afraid that if I used uncooked noodles they would soak up any liquid and make it dry. I also covered each serving of the lasagna with extra sauce. Next time I may substitute one pound of ground pork for one pound of ground beef just to vary it up a little.

    1st time making lasagna from (almost scratch. Ah-may-zing! I used tomato and basil spaghetti sauce but followed everything else according to recipe. I did not think it dry as others did. It was oozing but held up well when served. I was worried initially with the amount of ricotta mixture because was not a thick layer, but it tasted divine the way it was written! Used no-boil noodles.

    I agree with the other reviews about this dish being a little dry. To fix this I cut down on the meat and added just a pound and 3 quarters. Although I personally like more sauce, I wouldn't say it was dry exactly. I will definitely make this again, the flavors were fantastic!

    I've tried this recipe months ago because I wanted a lasagna recipe that didn't require me to boil the noodles. The first time was yummy, yet dry. The second time, I added more sauce, but it still seemed a little dry. Then, I took the filling up by 1/2 (the ricotta, cheeses, etc. and do about 6 1/2 cups of sauce. My partner (raised and fed by his Italian-American mother who made her own "gravy" approves and is very excited whenever I make lasagna. He'll even go with me to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients.

    This was really good. We made it with the no bake lasagna noodles and with gluten free lasagna noodles for my wife.We used ground turkey and pork Italian sausages. I also saw were the no bake lasagna noodles are better if you let them soak for a few minutes in warm water. Everything was excellent (both the regular and gluten free. It was all gone in two days. I will be making this one again for the rest of my family. Just make sure you make plenty.

    I have made this several times and it always comes out perfect. The only change I make is that I used diced tomatoes and blended the tomato sauce before I added it to the meat. My whole family loves this recipe!

    Very good, came out perfect, except that you need to use more than 5 cups of sauce.

    This is my first post ever and I cook a lot of Food Network recipes. This lasagna was very good; better than mine and everyone loves mine. The only change I made was hot sausage instead of beef. Thanks Emeril.

    Used basic store brand red sauce. Made a real basic lasagna and it came out fantastic. Next time adding more spices to see how I would like Emeril's twists. Great for the whole family!

    We did use 3 jars of sauce instead of two because of all the reviews stating this was dry. It came out perfect and left-overs were amazing.
