I used lean hamburger meat in place of the sausage and followed the other directions. It turned out perfectly!

This was alright. Needed more flavor-wise, but I'm not sure more what. We used 24 ounces of pasta sauce, and needed more.

This is one of my favorite recipes for when company comes over! So easy and so delicious. The recipe is great as-is, except you definitely need to double the amount of sauce!! Also, be sure to layer the top noodles with sauce before adding the cheese, otherwise it'll dry out. I usually add a 1/2 chopped onion when cooking the sausage, which adds a bit of crunch. I use 3 fresh garlic cloves in the cheese mix instead of the garlic powder, and add some fresh chopped parsley, and a bit of dried rosemary. I almost always use just shy of 2 bottles of sauce (preferably with big tomato chucks! Tomato basil sauce is a nice variety too.) A low fat option includes using cottage cheese in place of the ricotta -- I think that tastes great, too, but my boyfriend still prefers the "real thing".

Prefer ground beef. I always cook my pasta first. The no need to cook noodles tend to make dish taste pasty. Good right out of oven, but leftovers are dry.

Very good. I sauteed garlic and onions to add to the meat.

Good recipe! I will add a little more ricotta next time. I didnt have enough to make a good thick layer. I did add more sauce as other reviews recommended and my noodles turned out good.

I made this recipe last night but found it difficult to make 4 layers becausde there was not enough ricotta mixture, cheese or sauce. My husband liked it because he doesn't like a lot of sauce. If I make it again I will double everything except the noodles. I'm also not sure if I liked the Tyme in it.

Fairly good and easier then regular lasagna but ignore the warnings about it needed extra sauce at your peril. I thought I could avoid having to do that by: 1) presoaking regular lasagna noodles while I cooked the sausage 2) adding some chopped spinach to the ricotta mixture and chopped onion and green bell peppers to the sausage and 3) adding about a half a cup of red wine to the spaghetti sauce. That still wasn't enough and it came out kind of dry. If I do make this again, at a minimum I will add a can of diced tomatoes or very possibly another jar of spaghetti sauce.

Browned ground beef instead of sausage (our preference) and then cooked with the sauce, which I doubled, and added herbs. Doubled the ricotta (I actually used cottage cheese to be thrifty). You need a lot of sauce with no-boil noodles for that size of pan, or they won't cook properly. The recipe is quick, easy, and very enjoyable. Company asked for seconds anyway!
