I'm not sure where all the 5 star ratings came from. I actually watched this episode twice and I'm a competent cook. The first problem is that you fold the last layer of noodle over and then give it a sprinkle of cheese - this yields a rubbery mass on top which can barely be cut let alone eaten. I reduced the lemon zest by half and the lemon was still very noticeable and a very sweet note with the cheese and corn. The entire dish is far too sweet and what a calorie bomb for not great flavor or palatability. My advice, skip this one or make some signifcant modifications.

I just made this recipe a few days ago and I have one word for it...AMAZING!!! I bought everything the recipe called for and used the exact measurements. I served a party of 6 and everyone, including myself, was overly thrilled with the unique taste. Different to the pallet, but very good! One of my guest even said,"It's very gourmet like." Some of the cheeses were alittle pricy, but the out come was well worth it!

I cooked exactly as directed and it was delicious. I left mine in the ramekins as I have some pretty little Le Cruesette ramekins and like the look of them on the plate.

I followed the recipie exactly and my family felt it was scruptious, and light (for a lasagna. Nicely composed.

I made this tonight as an accompaniment to small tenderloins and it definately could hold it's own. This dish was such a burst of flavor and lovely texture that everyone ate an entire individual lasagna in addition to their steak and salad. Absolutely loved this dish.

First of all, double the amount of corn, and if it's summer use fresh raw, ( i cut four ears,
Take 1/2 of it and puree it. Reserve the other 1/2 ...Make the food processor mixture and then in a bowl, add the fresh corn. It gives it some well needed texture.
I added 1/2 the amount of lemon zest, an extra garlic clove, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Also, I don't love provolone, so i used a mixture of provolone and fresh parmeggiano reggiano.

I followed the recipe to the letter. I don't understand the other reviews! I'm a big fan of lasagna and I'm a big fan of creamed corn. But this was truly disgusting. I made it with the brussel sprout leaf salad from the same episode, also followed to the letter, and it was horrible also. Giada's recipes have been huge failures for me repeatedly, I don't know why I keep trying them and spending a fortune on the ingredients. Bland bland bland, that is her theme.

I saw this on the show and had to try it. It was a little time consuming to prepare...I don't have a food processor and had to use a blender, oops! I used cream cheese and a bit of cream to replace the mascarpone because I didn't have any on hand, and I also made a large lasagna instead of mini ones. I even added too much basil and it was still amazing!!!!
