AMAZING. Used Italian sausage instead of the beef and lamb. Prefer it too the Food Network Kitchen's version. Can also use canned tomato sauce if you want to cheat a little.
I did think it was a lot of work, but in the end it was worth it, and fed my parents and I for two nights and one lunch.

I have made this recipe three times using Texturized Vegetable Protein, zucchini, or eggplant instead of lamb. Everyone raved about this dish!

This is fantastic. And you could easily make this with whatever ground meat you had on hand in a pinch. I just made it with 1/2 lamb, 1/2 beef as directed this first time though. I had to eliminate the 1 hour baking time at the end by eliminating the eggs in the bechamel sauce so I could just warm it in the oven for 10 minutes since I made it after work during the week. This was so good my 2 year old even ate it.

My husband, who is 100% Italian American and who says he could eat pasta every day, said this was the best pasta he ever had in his life! Amazingly light considering the ingredients. He is already worried I won't be able to reproduce it again! Takes time but is much easier to assemble than lasagna. Incredible results!

I would give this recipe 5 stars based on the flavor. The amount of cinnamon was perfect (a guest even commented on it being "just the right amount". My only issue is the level of richness in the bechamel;too much cream for my taste. I will make this again, but with regular milk.

This was completely delicious. Although some of the touches are not authentic, I appreciate them because this is a dish that can be kind of bland. I followed the recipe as written, but added a few cloves to the meat as I feel this enhances the flavor. Also, I feel that parmesan cheese is a bad substitute for kasseri cheese, which most people will not be able to find. On this attempt I used fontina, which was pretty tasty.

Made this tonight for my husband's 67th birthday. All his kids, and their kids LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it. I made it the day before, and it was the best! The only thing (and I mean ONLY thing I changed, was I used penne. Thank you so much for this fabulous recipe. We were in Greece 2 years ago, and we celebrated tonight's dinner with a Greek theme. I also created Ina's Greek Salad. Gosh, everything was so yummy. Thank you for sharing this with us, Ina. Oh, it was so delicious.
