This recipe has gotten rave reviews even from my picky eaters. I leave out the parsley and use low fat ricotta.

Very good lasagna recipe, the sauce is alright, I use my own recipe instead as I like it better but the recipe itself is very good. Not quite enough ricotta cheese, I had to add extra.

I've definitely had better lasagna, but as a from-scratch recipe, this was pretty easy. I would recommend making your own noodles rather than store bought, it can put this recipe over the edge to being great. I really liked the meat sauce, it was simple and had good classic flavors. The ricotta needs to be increased to approx 15 oz.
