Easy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

All good, my recommendation is to add a little milk to the ricotta mixture, really smooths it out for spreading!

Tasty & Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was the first and only lasagna I have made, very simple (although a little time consuming) and very tasty. I... substitute ground turkey for ground beef and omit the carrot. Read more

Finally Did It!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've been trying to make lasagna for years and I finally found a recipe that both I and my family was happy with. This is... easy and delicious. Next time I will double the filling and make one pan for now and freeze one for later. If you can, make this earlier so you can let it set and it will stay together in beautiful perfect layers. Thanks this is a keeper.Read more

Great Flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe, everyone loved it. As mentioned, make extra ricotta, not enough. Also, I used turkey meat and chicken sausage... instead, and low-fat cheeses.Read more

best lasagna ever
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This lasagna is sooooo delicious! The only addition I made is to also use a bechemel sauce in the layering process which... makes it even richer and more decadent. I also make sure to use fresh ricotta cheese and fresh mozzarella, makes it really creamy and yummy. I freeze the leftover sauce and use it over spaghetti or to make another lasagna!! My italian boyfriend told me I can't make this for his family because it will put them them to shame!Read more
