This may be a "30 Minute Meal" for an experienced chef like Racael who can prep quickly (or during commercial breaks etc., but it took me closer to an hour (55 minutes to be exact. I halved the recipe because there are only 2 of us, but I kept the amount of canned tomatoes the same, which I believe helped tremendously with the issue that people are mentioning of not enough sauce/too many noodles. I also added a little fresh parsley with the basil.

So, was this a 30 minute recipe? No
Did it take less time than a regular lasagna? Yes (All the other lasagnas I've made take at least 2-3 hours
Did it leave a mess in the kitchen? Yes (well duh, making a lasagna is messy business no matter how long it takes
Was it tasty? Yes
Was it worth the time and effort? Yes
Would I make it again? Definitely :

Tip: DEFINITELY cook your noodles last so they don't sit around and get stuck together like mine did. Also maybe add a little cayenne or red pepper flakes to the sauce to take it up a notch.

Saw this on '30 Minute Meals' on Hulu, decided to try. Followed instructions to the letter, but omitted Reggiano (at 15 dollars a pound, too pricey for one dish and substituted mozzarella. The white sauce was a treat; nutmeg accentuated the mellow flavor. White wine flavor overpowering in the tomato sauce, but admittedly don't cook with alcohol much. A nice change from typical lasagna; no leftovers in this house to speak of. Will make again, maybe with sausage or other meats.

I agree with the other reviewers about it tasting bland. I made it the other day with some edits based on what I had read so far... only 1# pasta, I took out the cinnamon but kept the nutmeg. The flavor of lasagna I'm used to have spice and heat to them, probably because I use half hamburger and half italian sausage. DH and I agreed that it was good lasagna, and a keeper if I can alter it to give it more kick. This will feed us for a long time to come since lasagna holds up fantastic in the freezer.

Next time I will use half hamburger and half italian sausage, taste the red sauce and add red pepper flake to it if it needs more kick and probably leave the carrot out - it was too sweet for my taste.

I've made this dish quite a few times for my husband and he really likes it. It makes way more than 8 servings and since I can't eat it myself, I make the whole batch and freeze it in portions for at least half a month worth of lunches for my husband to take to work. I never bother with breaking lasagna noodles, I just use spirals or shells or whatever else I have on hand. One thing I've noticed about Rachael's recipes, I end up using just about every pot I own to make them!

This was a great recipe and easy to make! I followed the directions but only put ricotta cheese on half of the dish (some of my family members don’t like ricotta. The sauce was easy to make and the entire dish was wonderful!

Very hard to make with only two burners:( it wasnt saucy enough for my family either. Also, the pasta makes a big mess when breaking it, and make sure that you have big enough pots too. I made that mistake only once. But the white sauce was delish:I used beef stock instead of white wine and just a store brand can of tomatoes. I served it with a spiniach salad w/ Ina Gartens vinagarette and homeade bread. My 10 year old brother gobbled it all up and kids love it.

I enjoyed eating this yesterday and today! even better the second day. However, i didn't like all that pasta. Next time I wont do pound for pound instead i'll do lb of meat to half lb pasta. Flavored very well.omited wine and used water, just as good.For how fast i could make and eat Im not sure if i ever want to go back to the traditional lasagna. Thx Ray!
