I love this lasagna recipe! Easy to follow, uses uncooked pasta, and tastes great. I use whole wheat pasta, and added lots of fresh garlic and chopped onion to the ground beef. When I have them, I've added green pepper and zucchini to the sauce, or spinach. Gotta get those veggies! Thanks for posting this good recipe.

Made this last night for supper and everyone liked it. The only thing I added was 2 cans of mushrooms and a bit more beef. I'm sure I didn't really have enough cheese mixture and sauce left to make another layer, but I stretched it and those came out a bit dry. That's my bad...not the recipe!

This lasagna was so easy and delicious! I love that you don't have to cook the noodles. I added some garlic powder to the meat while browning (along w/salt & pepper). I also added fresh basil to the sauce. I substituted ricotta for cottage cheese. I think I mixed up the order of the layering, but it still came out amazing! I served it with a salad and garlic bread. My family loved it!

With some spices this could be a 5 for us. I added a touch of garlic powder to the meat while I was browning it and I added a few dashes of Italian seasoning but I would add more oregano and garlic and salt. I used ricotta for the cottage cheese but I would cut back on that too. I love the method and I will make it again! I wish my youngest son, picky-picky would eat lasagna. DH and my older son had several helpings and they were the one's to make the suggestions above (I agree though). Thanks for posting!
