Lasagna was okay,poor flavor. I will not make again, I have made the "Worlds Best Lasagna" recipe from this site and although more work it is by far better tasting.

This is our new favorite lasagna recipe. I made a double batch and put one in the freezer for later. It calls for a lot of meatballs I am going to use half of what it calls for next time. I actually ended up doubling the sauce recipe because the meat made it so thick. I also like to put in my lasagna noodles dry with extra sauce and you can get out of cooking your noodles first. I added some oregano and an extra egg to the ricotta cheese to help it spread easier. I do agree with other reviewers that the meatballs add something extra to the lasagna.

Very good recipe! Used a food proccessor to crumble the meatballs. Used cottage cheese instead of ricotta. Also mixed egg and All cheeses together and plopped by the spoon full instead of layering them separately and it came out great!

I made this wonderful lasagna for a family get-together and it was delicious. My brother-in-law raved about it and pronounced it better than any restaurantlasagna he'd ever had. I've been making lasagna for years but I'd never tried adding meatballs (I used store-bought Italian style). What a wonderful additon! Also, in my own lasagna I usually use my favorite jar of spaghetti sauce, but the recipe sauce is so easy and so good that I'll be making this lasagna from now on. Thank you Addella!

I picked this as the first dish I've EVER made by "myself." I can proudly say it went GREAT! I left out the onions because...well, I don't like them. Also, after some research I decided to add 8 oz of cream cheese to the ricotta and egg. All I can say is I can't WAIT to make this again...

I made a half recipe tonight and turned out pretty yummy. I have to agree with a couple reviewers that it isn't very saucy. If you like more sauce to your lasagna then you may need to increase the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, and water. I thought the meatballs added a great flavor to the lasagna and is very convenient if you have them on hand. We'll probably make this again.

I thought this recipe was great, much tastier than just using ground beef. I made my own meatballs (using ground turkey) so that added on a good hour to the recipe. I also used the no boil lasagna noodles which made it a little easier than having to cook the noodles first. Otherwise I followed the recipe and it turned out great!

This is a great recipe! I was running low on canned tomatoes so used 1 can of diced, 1 can of sauce, 1 can of paste and then add a jar of my favorite spaghetti sauce. I pretty much followed the recipe as written but I used no bake lasagna just for the ease of it. I also baked this in 2 8x8 pans so I could freeze one. This is soooooo yummy! Will for sure make again and again.

We loved this! I just cut my meatballs into quarters & I actually used almost twice as many(I was trying to use up a huge bag of meatballs in the freezer). Fun twist on lasagna. I'll definately make this again!
