This was great! I lowered the glycemic impact by using whole grain Lasagna noodles, only cooked them for 5 minutes and added additional veggies (eggplant and spinach. This Lasagna with the sauce was wonderful, my husband (who is fussy about his lasagna. This was our perfect Valentines day meal, made a tomato/avocado salad with a balsamic vinaigrette ~~~Thank you Anne for showing me how to make that perfect square of lasagna (Even the first piece!

First time making lasagna and it was amazing! I used Giada's marinara recipe (really good and I had some left over. I really did not want it to fall apart, so I followed the tip to bake ahead and then reheat. Did this a few hours before dinner time and it worked out perfectly! I do recommend layering in more marinara or pouring a little on top when serving (like Anne did on the show or it might be a little dry.

I made this for a party and it really rocked! I'm a vegetarian so I substituted veggie sausage for the pork sausage. Made it the day before then reheated it for the party. Even the non-vegetarians couldn't believe I used fake sausage.
I did use a jar of marinara instead of making from scratch but we have a local brand in Denver that really rocks, Spinelli's!
The zucchini and mushroom were such a nice touch.

Loved this recipe. The addition of the mushrooms and zucchini added a nice texture and flavor to this. I used whole milk ricotta and it was very good.

This was the BEST lasagne recipe; great sauce; zucchini & mushrooms a great addition. Pork sausage vs. beef gave more taste. Husband really like it. This is a keeper!

Best lasagna. I do not think I ever done a bad recipe from Anne. This is like she said, I did all my prep work before and put it together was easy. The best were all the hints she gave. Like how to alternate the direction of the pasta and the let cool or next day serve. This is the best. As usual you are THE CHEF

Wow, this was delicious! I made it following the recipe exactly, except my pan wasn't tall enough for one more layer. I couldn't shred my fresh mozzarella, so I just broke it up on top. It browned beautifully. I had just made Anne's spaghetti and meatballs a couple of weeks ago (another big winner BTW so I had leftover marinara in the freezer. I liked the way Anne reverses the noodles with each layer and I did make it earlier in the day so it could sit. I've never had such a "structurally sound" lasagna! Everyone loved this and I will definitely make it again! I just need to buy a nice, deep lasagna pan!

Best Lasagna! I also eliminated the zucchini. To answer quaker2_, yes it's kosher salt and, yes, you really need to use a LOT of salt in your pasta water. Like Anne says, it should taste like the ocean. Please don't put oil in the water. A much better way to prepare the noodles is to place them in a large pan and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes and make the lasagna as usual. The noodles will finish cooking in the oven. Another trick for cooking pasta is to put the pasta in boiling water - cook for exactly 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir the pasta, cover and set the timer for whatever additional minutes are recommended minus the 2 minutes. Your pasta won't stick and comes out perfectly!

I made this lasagna and in the past have been lasagna impaired. Every other time I made lasagna it smooshed apart which is why I generally don't make lasagna. I think what saved this lasagna was baking it and refrigerating it over night. I liked the zucchini but not in the lasagna(I tasted it separately it was really tastey but I didn't think it really fit in this dish. I will make this lasagna again and make the sauce from her recipe when I made it I used 3 jars of sauce two red one white and still wanted more. I would also use more sausage like double the amount. I didn't have the basil or I would have used it and I think it would have made it better. I used only one box of pasta noodles and it didn't make any difference at all it held together perfectly well. This was a tastey lasagna will try it again in a few weeks. It was alot easier than I remembered.
