I've made this recipe several times and thought it was time to leave a review. This is exactly how I want my lasagna to taste! I've tried many recipes and never could get just the right flavor but this is it. The wine and italian sausage make it perfect :) My family prefers cottage cheese and I always use the no bake lasagna noodles for all of my lasagna recipes. Other than that, I pretty much follow the recipe to a "T"- except for the cooking time. Mine is always browning around the edges by 3 hours in my crock pot. THANK YOU for posting this recipe! My search is over.

My husband and I loved this recipe! We are vegetarians, so we used Tofurkey's Italian sausage and Trader Joe's meatless meatballs instead of meat products. My husband rarely gets excited about food, but he told me it was the best lasagna he has ever had and to make sure I keep the recipe! Thanks for posting! Oh, and I let it cook for 4 hrs.

I love to cook. Just cannot find enough time to cook. I discovered the crock pot a couple of months ago, since then I haven’t been able to stop using it. Would like to discover more recipes using the crock-pot!
