The Bechamel is fine and necessary. I put a bit more nutmeg and pepper.

Saute the prosciutto to a crisp for bolder taste.

Use fresh spinach, reduce in saucepan with 1/2 cup water and 4 cloves of chopped garlic. Drain water.

Add turkey picadillo. Cook 1/2 lbs ground turkey with 2 tbsp of sofrito, salt/pepper, 1/2 chopped onion, 1/2 chopped green pepper, 1 tbsp of tomato paste and 1/2 cup of marinara in 1 tbsp oil. Cook and cool down. Fold into ricotta mix.

Add 6 oz of shredded Monterrey Pepper Jack into the ricotta mix. It will balance flavors and bind the meat. Due to added volume, you'll need 16-18 noodles.

Use a light marinara sauce like Trade Joe's Rustico.

Spread mix over 1/2 the length of the noodle before rolling.

Cook for 20 minutes, then skip 10 min uncover. Just place under the broiler for 3 minutes to get a crispy cheese top. If too dry, then add more marinara only AS you plate. I prefer a dollup at the bottom of the plate to showoff the nice top.

Tastes amazing!

Delicious! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because my husband and didn't think the Prosciutto added anything to the recipe; neither of us could taste it, which was disappointing because prosciutto is our favorite. WILL DEFINITELY make again, but probably without prosciutto because it didn't enhance the dish.

FAN...TAS...TIC! Excellent recipe, easy to follow and love the "portion" sizes. I normally don't making or even like lasagna, but this was kinda fun to make and super delicious. No problem with the bechamel either. Once a again, Giada did not let me down. Thanks!

This was great! I followed everything exactly. My family loved it! 10 yr old said it was her new fav dish I have made and my 2 yr old had 2nds. I could not believe how much he ate!! Hubby and father in law loved it too! The only thing is I am not really sure the point of the bechamel sauce as it just burned to a crisp where there was not a roll placed on top and I really could not taste it. Maybe I needed to make more??

Being Italian we thought this recipe was good, but not great. I would make it again and omit the bechamel sauce and use marinara on the bottom of baking dish. The bechamel didn't add anything to the recipe except work and mess. This recipe would be easier and in my humble opinion healthier and tastier without the bechamel. The concept is a great alternative to lasagna though and I liked the presentation.

OH EM GEE! These are phenominal! The prep was definitely longer than 25 minutes, but well worth it. I made these last night for myself and 3 friends and boy did this WOW them! I had extra of the ricotta mix and extra noodles so i made a few more and cooked them in a seperate dish with none of the bechamel and they were still great! I also cooked up some ground italian sausage and added it to the ricotta mix, yumm! This recipe is a keeper!

LOVED THIS! I made it for Christmas Day dinner & it turned out wonderful. Very easy to prepare and was delicious. I didn't make the bechamel sauce-just used my homemade marinara sauce for the bottom layer. I didn't use prosuitto but next time I will add italian sausage to the ricotta cheese mixture. I will definitely be making this again! I had left overs that I gave to a friend who loved it. Thanks Giada!

Love Giada's recipes, this is my fav! I loved the taste! The Béchamel sauce needs 12-15 minutes of whisking to get the right consistency. Followed it exactly but added a lil oregano to the ricotta cheese mixture.
Next time will make with Italian sausage. I couldn't even make out the prosuitto and I added an ounce extra. The only bad thing is there is left over cheese/spinach mixture. Next time I will add less ricotta. thank you Giada xx

a great base recipe, but I dotored it with a lot of garic and italian spices. I left out meat since we are vegetarian-- everyone loved it ---I think next time I I will double white sauce as it soaked in and also will bake at a lower temperature - I thibk 450 is high-- overall i will be making again
