I made this dish for a lunch date with my friends. The presentation was impressive in the individual ramekins with the perfectly browned cheese on top. I read the reviews before I went shopping and decided to add marinated sundries tomatoes. I think it added a nice punch to the recipe. I used all organic ingredients. It was absolutely delicious! My friends were raving on how good everything tasted. I loved the flavor of the lemon zest; It gave this rich dish a lighter feel. I also served it to my husband for dinner and he was impressed as well. I would highly recommend.

Wow, I was blown away with all the negative comments regarding this recipe. (I had not read them before making We made these mini-lasagnas with the brussel sprout salad she had with it on the show, but added lamb chops for our Valentine's dinner. It was absolutely fantastic!!! It was a unique blend of tastes that managed to be rich and decadent and light and fresh all at the same time! I will definitely make these again when I want to make an impression and blow everyone's socks off. No-this is not a healthy meal, but a special occasion one. If one wanted to, you could serve straight from the ramekins.

Beautiful but sweet, bland and odd tasting, all at the same time. May try again at some point, using less than 1/4 cup of the mixture between layers and maybe adding sundried tomato, squash and/or asparagus tips. Wanted more veggies or something in it.

After reading all the reviews about how it was too sweet, I decided to use regular whole kernel corn rather than sweet corn. I also tried to make it very healthy using wheat noodles and reduced fat or skim diary products. While the idea of "mini" lasagnas is great, everything about this recipe was average. Nothing amazing. I'd rather use the idea of mini lasagnas with my favorite lasagna recipe. The whole time I was eating this, I was quite surprised that Giada picked this recipe to serve to Prince William & Kate. Again, nothing amazing.

I have made a number of Giada's before. All were good to excellent. Never again for the ramekin lasagne. It was a nasty tasting mess.

This looked delicious, but as a Registered Dietitian I had to come up with ways to make it healthier. I replaced Whole Wheat noodles for the regular semolina ones. Fat Free Cream Cheese for the Marscarpone, Fat Free half and half in place of the Whipping cream, part skim Mozzarella in place of the Provolone and Olive oil spray in place of the Butter. Came out delish and super nutrient dense!

This was delicious---and super easy. I used whole wheat lasagna noodles, and didn't end up using the full amount of provolone cheese. My husband, who's a super picky eater, loved it. Only downside was that it was pretty rich and a bit greasy.

I saw Giada making this on TV, and thought it would be great. Unfortunately, it was a vary strange mixture of flavours. I wasn't anticipating such a sweet lasagne. The mascarpone and the corn didn't seem to pair very well with the provolone. I will never make this again...

So delicious, but very rich! I did not use the lemon zest - just didn't seem right in the recipe. I used disposable foil mini pie pans in lieu of ramekins. I used a 1 oz. cookie scoop (twice to measure out the ¼ cup of filling. Worked great. I made the lasagnas the day before. Take out of refrigerator ½ hour before cooking. Extend cook time to 40 mins. I agree - butter was too much in the pan, I'll use Pam next time.

Amazing! I served these in the ramekins because they looked prettier and everybody loved them! Thanks, Giada.
