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!

My family loved this one!!! I used extra wide lasagne noodles so I only needed 6 or I really had enough of everything to make 3 layers if only for more ricotta/egg mixture.

Had this for company and everyone agreed that this was a well-balanced lasagna. Not too heavy, not too light...just right. I'll go a little less on the onion next time as I do not care for that much onion but it was still fresh and yummy tasting, nevertheless!

This was great! The meatballs really did give it a different flavor that was wonderful. The only thing that was disappointing was the leftovers, they were a bit dry. But I have yet to find a lasagna that isn't dry the next day. But as a first day dish, wonderful.
