This is a wonderful classic lasagna recipe. I have been making this for years and everyone always loves it. It is somewhat time consuming to prepare, but is totally worth it!

This was fabulous! I followed it exactly and it came out great! Even my husband, who isn't big on green vegetables, loved it! I will definitely make this again.

Well, this would have been a lot better if I hadn't over "sauced" the recipe. I used the no-boil lasagna noodles so I think I over compensated. I used sweet Italian turkey sausage (less greasy)and used my own Italian seasoning I put together from my own dried herbs. I mixed frozen (thawed and squeezed) spinach in the ricotta (used whole milk ricotta)but spiced this recipe up a tad more. I also ended up doing 4 layers but will only do 3 next time as I was having spill over while it cooked. Although I let the lasagna sit for 15 minutes after cooking, due to my sauce zeal, it didn't hold it's shape after cutting and serving. Tasted great in any event. I will not be over generous with the wet ingredients next time! Great recipe you can tweak to your own taste.

I was somewhat dissapointed with this lasagna, I am so used to following the one on the back of the pasta boxes but this time I wanted to try something new. The results were not as good as my usual one and there wasn't enough meat in the final dish, also, the tomato paste took over the entire flavoring.

My husband made this one night. It was good, but took a long time. Also, the sausage taste didn't really come out, so it seemed a bit of a waste.

great lasagna! I love that it has sausage instead of ground beef...so much more interesting. For anyone who has not tried this, I did and it worked great - instead of boiling the noodles, I laid them on a sheet pan and poured boiling water over them while I was making the red sauce (btw, I like diced tomatoes, so I substitued those instead of tom. sauce and water as called for). Since the dish bakes for 45 minutes, the noodles came out perfect!! So much easier than boiling the noodles.

This is definately the best lasagna recipe I've found by far. The only change I made was using turkey italian sausage since I don't eat pork. Easy to make, and the perfect sauce to pasta ratio (some recipes I've tried have come out a little too dry). My honey said this was better than his Mom's, and that's saying a lot. Thanks!

this recipe makes a mean lasagna! i added sliced zucchini, fresh mushrooms and used 4 cups shredded mozz. i didn't have fresh parsley so i substituted with 3 1/2 tablespoons dried. it turned out so yummy! it's time consuming but the end result is well worth the effort. i will be making this again, and again, and again!! thanks for sharing...

This is by far the easiest lasagna I have ever made, even though I took a lot of liberties and used a lot of leftovers. It was DELICIOUS. About doubled the meat and made L/O seasoned beef taco mix taste like Italian sausage by seasoning it unmercifully. (I think I overdid the crushed red pepper, though, since everyone drank an awfully lot of fluids…) About doubled the cheese mixture, since that is what I had in the freezer. (It was a mixture of 1/2 ricotta and 1/2 cottage cheese.) Went heavy on the spinach too, to finish up what was in that package. In addition to the garlic powder, I also added some fresh minced garlic to the ricotta mixture. Other than that I followed the recipe exactly--oh, did I mention that I used no-boil noodles, and added a small amount of Monterey Jack cheese on the very top, since the Mozzarella looked a bit anemic??? Even though a lot of this sounds silly, I would pretty much make it the same way next time, except that I would use the Italian sausage!!! It was absolutely YUMMY, and, as I can attest, hard to screw up. Do try this!!!

Excellent recipe - I made it for my girlfriend and it was a huge hit. I used hot Italian sausage instead of sweet. It was just a tad salty, so I'd recommend using a little less garlic salt or throwing a pinch of sugar into the sauce. Also be generous with the cheese!

Outstanding! I prepared this recipe for my X-Mas eve dinner - and received great reviews. I substituted traditional lasagna noodles with the 'no-boil' noodles, and used mild Italian sausage - as opposed to 'sweet' Italian sausage - but overall - fantastic recipe. A great baseline lasagna - with lots of room for extras/alterations. 5 stars!

This was a phenomenal lasagna! I made this for my boyfriend and roommate last night and everyone loved it! I'm actually eating some leftover for breakfast right now. I did change the recipe a bit...I doubled the mozzerella, and made extra sauce, which I also added two fresh cloves of garlic to. Yumm!!!!

Wonderful, I double the sausage and use spicy instead of sweet, omit the spinach and twice the cheese and sauce. My boyfriend said it is better than his mom's!
