I love this Recipe! I tried it out on my parents, husband, son and siblings. They all flipped out. I have always made my own authentic lasagna. My entire family has always loved my recipe but this one is a keeper. I made a few changes. I didn't use bacon or ground beef. I used sweet Italian sausage. I almost didn't add the wine or cinnamon but they made the sauce incredible. I only used a pinch of the cinnamon, which a lot of other reviewers recommend to do. I also used regular boil noodles. I didn't add any extra water either. The flavors in this lasagna were very rich and satisfying. I'm so glad I tried it.

This is my go to recipe for lasagna! I absolutely love it! I also did not add the additional water and I omitted the cinnamon, which I feel is a little too strong for me. I did use a full 1lb of ground beef and an additional slice of bacon. I grew up in an Italian family, and this lasagna recipe hands down beats the recipe that I grew up with!

This recipe was fantastic! With the first bite, I went "hmm, don't know about this", but with each bite after that it was just yummy! The cinnamon in the meat sauce added an interesting side seasoning you don't expect. This will definitely be a keeper! Think I added too much cinnamon, too, so will reduce it next time, but I will make this again! Labor intensive, but isn't that difficult. I normally don't like lasagna that much, but I loved this one! Just the right amount of meat for me.

This was a great recipe and a nice change from my usual recipe. I left out the cinnamon after reading some of the reviews. In the future, I may also decide to leave out the bacon. Overall it was ooey gooey deliciousness! Thanks Melissa :

I wanted to try lasagna that was extra special (I always made the recipe in the Better Homes New Cook Book. This recipe was a disappointment. Something just did not taste right. I will stick to my old standard! But I love Melissa!!!

It was very tasty but I will leave out the cinnamon next time- it completely changed the flavor of the sauce -I wish I had not added it.

Interesting that the directions say to add 1/4 cup WATER to the bottom of the baking dish,(??? I just got done watching this episode and she neither did this nor mentioned doing this. Ive used No Bake noodles many times and Never have had to add additional water to the pan. if you normally make a thicker sauce (like I do the you just thin the sauce a little as she did on the episode and states in the beginning of the beef sauce section. Otherwise this lasagna is very similar to the one I grew up having and is a wonderful trip down culinary memory lane for me.

This was a great recipe. Pretty labor intensive for a beginner. But it turned out pretty good. I thought it was missing something though. Im used to a slightly sweeter taste, i think i will add a 1/2 pound of sausage next time. I agree that the cinnamon was a little much. Next time i will put in half.

I love this recipe, however I would omit the cinnamon. It completely changed the taste of the red sauce, which I loved before I added it. Otherwise, I will use this as my new lasanga recipe.
