I'd really like to try this recipe but, as with many others, my best tomato choice this time of year is canned. Can anyone tell me the number & sizes of tomato cans that are the equivalent of 8 lbs of fresh (recipe doesn't specify -- & this seems like a lot of tomatoes . . .? Thanks.

It was amazing. I am Italian and I did not miss the ricotta at all. I have been dying to make it since I saw the show. I am glad I did. Love this show.

Sorry K from Georgetown - but like I said ITALIANS PUT RICOTTA CHEESE IN THEIR LASAGNA... and I'm surprised at Alex!!! Would LOVE to ask her why she did NOT. One discrepancy in this recipe from the show - she used SLICED FRESH MOZZ. CHEESE "NOT" SHREDDED -like it says here in the recipe. Anyway - I would NEVER make "B" sauce like this - too chunky - again - ask any Italian - ask GIADA!
I WILL make this Lasagna - only WITH Ricotta and regular sauce.... just like it's supposed to be.

Made this for dinner on a weeknight and it was simple and easy. I did not have fresh tomatoes however since we are in Novemeber so I improvised and used San Marzano canned tomatoes along with some good quality tomato paste. I didn't really have time to make the meat sauce so I just served the lasagna with some extra tomato sauce on the side and it was amazing. You should definately try this one!!

Well, I don't know about you (bderose but I LOVED it! My grandma & my mom made it and it was fantastico! That same night, we had a get together and everyone loved it. The Bolognese sauce was so good; when grandma was preparing it I would take little sneaks of the sauce when she wasn't looking. It was that good!

I made this using canned tomato but made about half the amount of the sauce and only did three layers of pasta and five layers of sauce. I used the remainder of the sauce to make the bolognese and it was just delicious! I plan on making that again and freezing to have over plain old pasta. Really a winner of a lasagna. Thanks Alex.

My family and I loved this recipe. I will never use ricotta in my lasagna again!! And I also think the fresh mozzarella really made this lasagna wonderful. Once again Alex a spectacular recipe. :

I loved this, I made it last night with the intent of having it tonight for dinner. I had a piece last night and it was fantastic. I know it will only get better when tomatoes are in season. I didn't make the bolognese because of time but definitely will. I loved there was no ricotta, whether it's healthier or not, it feels lighter. I used less than 8 pounds of tomatoes since I didn't make the bolognese and needed every drop.

I followed this recipe word-for-word and it was delicious! I know it didn't have ricotta, but I didn't even miss it! Definitely try this one!
