    Made Giada's basic tomato sauce for this recipe. I added a little more salt and used 1 cup of ricotta like in the video and it was DELICIOUS!!!! . It may be good with beef and basil as some have said but Lamb and Mint make this dish!!! LOVE IT!

    This was a fantastic dish. I used the large jar of Ragu from the store. It made it a little more watery than the video but I did have enough left over to make another meal in a few days. Kids 7-19 loved it too. Dont forget the french bread.

    Oh my, this is by far the best pasta dish I have had ever. I have made this for my family and friends and we cannot stop raving about it. Thank you

    Giada, you have once again been so outrageously kind to my palate. This dish is awesome! This was a spur of the moment decision to make so I didn't have mint or ricotta, but it still came out amazing. If you don't like lamb, don't make this dish. However, I love it and all the bold, deep flavors of this dish were great together. I put in a little extra marinara sauce which was a good decision for me personally.

    We did like this recipe; reminds me of pasticcio. Because it reminded me of pasticcio, I took the liberty of adding cinnamon to the meat while browning it. Also, left out the ricotta. If you like this recipe try Ina Garten's pasticcio recipe--just love it.

    Well, I know my husband is very "uncomfortable" (? eating lamb, yet loves pasta with a tomato-based sauce. I, however, love lamb and when my butcher showed me some ultra-fresh ground, and I knew I had not had lamb in such a long time, I went for it -- crossing my fingers that I could find one of Giada's recipes to perhaps make the lamb more palatable for him. I tried to hide the white butcher paper with "lamb" written on it, but he saw it when I was cooking. Well, he was not pleased and anticipated eating at McDonalds. And then what do you know -- he LOVED this recipe. Heck, he had two large servings. As the chef, I knew this was going to be the outcome. And, Giada doesn't steer you wrong!

    This is fantastic! It does make enough for an army! I did substitute ground beef for the lamb and it was still tasty. Making this again!
