I haven't cooked in a few years and I wanted to pick an easy and delicious meal that would impress my new beau. We have been fortunate enough to be able to eat at some of the best restaurants around and I am happy to say this was the tastiest lasagna we ever had! The texture, flavor, and colors were just heavenly. It was so fresh and the filling was a nice change from the typical ricotta blend. Thank you, Paula! I will definitely be making this again soon!

The whole family loves this recipe. We even make it at holidays to accompany whatever we're having (my husband's family is Italian and a pasta dish of some sort is a must. It's even better the next day.

Made according to recipe. The cream cheese was a little overwhelming. When I watched Paula's video, I noticed she used 1/2 of an 8-oz package of cream cheese, not the the full 8 oz as directed in the written recipe. Also, in the video she mixed the tomatoe sauce ingredients right in with the veggies rather than making and layering separately. We liked the dish better the next day. I shared some with a neighbor. She absolutely loved it. I will make again but will use 4 oz of cream cheese instead of 8.

I used Paula's recipe to make the basis of my own.... I made Ina Garten's marinara sauce, used riccotta cheese (put in lemon zest, salt, pepper, thyme and used wheat lasagna noodles. I sprinkle the layers with mozzarella, parmesean, and romano cheese. I think Paula's is more down home american... mine I think is closer to a savory italian lasagna.

I really liked this recipe. I made a few changes. I used a different sauce recipe (see below. I used the same amount paula called for but mixed it into the veggies. I used an equal amount of just sauce and layered it with the rest.

Simple Sauce Recipe
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, 1 small onion, 2 cloves garlic, chopped, 1 stalk celery, 1 carrot, salt, pepper, 2 (32-ozcans crushed tomatoes, 2 dried bay leaves, 4 T butter, 1/4 c butter

Saute until all the vegetables are soft, Add tomatoes, bay leaves, and basil and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour. Remove bay leaves. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors. Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.

This was delicious. I only made a couple changes. Sauteed the veggies in some cooking spray and used low fat ricotta instead of the cottage/cream cheese. Like others, I also doubled the red sauce. The flavor from the fresh basil in the sauce was amazing.

I really am amazed how good this lasagna was. One of my brother's is a vegetarian so i thought it would nice for me to make a meal that will include him. My family is a big fan of meat and they just loved it so much that they wanted seconds.
