I made this recipe tonight as my first attempt at making lasagna for my husband. After reading the other reviews, I followed their advice and doubled the amount of sauce to two jars. I also kicked up the garlic a tiny bit and used a combo of ground beef and ground, Italian sausage. I found real, block provolone and shredded that, but I'm sure that it would have worked to simply dice up some sliced provolone from the deli, if necessary. To save the mess of an extra pan to clean, I first sautéed the garlic and onions, then transferred them to the saucepot. After browning the meat and draining it, I added the sauce and meat combo to the garlic & onions. I also precooked the noodles about 5-6 minutes so that they wouldn't soak up too much of the sauce, and baked for 35 minutes covered and 20 minutes uncovered. Perfect! I was worried the whole time that the noodles wouldn't cook properly, or that it would dry out, but it didn't need any extra sauce on the side since I'd doubled the amount to begin with. The addition of sausage and second jar of sauce was key. Can't wait to have leftovers! Thanks for this great recipe!

This lasagna was FANTASTIC. I made a few changes, however. As suggested, I used 1/2lb mild Italian sausage in addition to 1 lb ground beef. I omitted the provolone, since I didn't have any left. I mixed together in a bowl 1 500g tub of extra smooth ricotta and 1 250g tub of cottage cheese. I added some parsley and black pepper to the cheese mixture. I layered mine sauce, pasta, sauce, pasta, cheese, pasta, sauce. I then sprinkled some grated mozzarella and a bit of old cheddar on top. I used the oven ready lasagna noodles for this and had no problem at all. Baked it at 350 for about an hour, uncovered. I actually used 2 8" square foil pans and for this recipe. Had one the next night for dinner and the other one is frozen. My boyfiend, who is Italian, LOVED this lasagna. So did his mother!! ;)

I'm sticking with this one!! I made it for dinner party and had nothing left but a smudge on the bottom of the pan. The only thing I added was some mild Italian sausage for extra "bite", Yum!

Easy, good recipe. I liked the addition of provelone. I did stream line directions a bit to make it easier.

Very good recipe which I'll be coming back to again and again. I'll be trying other lasagna recipes as well since this didn't knock our socks off but as the name says, it was a great basic recipe. P.S. We added mild italian sausage to the meat and used a jar and a half of our favorite spaghetti sauce. Instead of shredding the provolone I just laid out the slices -- worked great.

Very good lasagna. Good idea on doubling the sauce and adding some italian sausage. Tip for those who don't want to boil the lasagna noodles...just soak them in some hot tap water for five minutes or so to soften them up. Works great.

I have tried to make lasagna many times and this recipe has been the best and the simplest. I have found some good ones that just require too many ingredients. I do add more sauce it seems like the pasta and ground beef soak up the sauce and leave it dry so I add an 8 oz can of tomato sauce. very good recipe.

Easy, relatively inexpensive for lasagne, and the best lasagne I've ever tried. Even the in-laws loved it. :-)

I have never made lasagna before and following this recipe was a great first start. It was very inexpensive. The directions were clear and precise. I added 2 mores cups of cheese and I used ground turkey instead of beef. I love this recipe. I will definitely make this dish again!!!

I consider myself a fair cook. Never made lasagna before so I followed the instructions exactly. Now I consider myself a great cook. It was excellent and now my family is wondering how I got so good. Thank you for sharing, Kenny
