    This was very good and healthy with all the veggies. I cooked the meat (chix) separately and drained. also skipped the milk, but added a dash of heavy cream. For the ricotta, I added cottage cheese and fresh basil to the mix. Used regular lasagna noodles, but did Not pre-cook. Put in oven at 375 and cooked for about an hour, covering at beginning. Served 4 big servings first time and have plenty of leftovers. Yummy!

    This was good, but crushed red pepper gives it an all-over hot flavor, which is kind of disconserting in a lasagne. Hubby liked it, but I would reduce the red pepper to maybe a 1/4 teaspoon or leave it out next time.

    Bland and soupy. The lasagna I make without a recipe tastes better and has a better consistency.

    We loved it. Added an extra layer of noodle and didn't precook them. Just let them soak in some boiling water while I cooked the suace. Very yummy!

    No good! Came out rather flavorless - if I bothered with it again I'd double the tomato paste.

    This was excellent. I don't usually like lasagna because I don't like ricotta cheese, so I just put all mozzarella in it and it was really good. I used the no-cook noodles, no need for soaking them since the sauce was pretty soupy, and it turned out really well. It took a bit of time to make but was well worth it. Leftovers were even better! Will definitely make it again.

    My family really enjoyed this. If you are used to frozen lasagna, it may seem a little bland, but it is so much better without a ton of salt!

    I was surprised at how spicy it came out, and I actually reduced the red pepper by 1/3. It really didn't taste like a "traditional " meat lasagna to us, but certainly flavorful.

    Delish;). Followed the recipe except for adding a little more ground turkey, used lean ground pork (instead of pancetta) and a pinch of nutmeg to the meat sauce while it simmered. I too loved that the meat sauce has so many veggies. Served with a tossed green salad. Will def. make again.

    Better than I imagined and a great way to sneak more veggies into the kids diet!
