  1. My family LOVED this. Tasted just like lasagna but sooooo easy. My BF had asked me to make lasagna but it was too much work for how late it was so I found this recipe. I was a little leary but we figured what the heck. I used ground beef and 15oz ricotta since we like it better. Also I sauteed my beef with 1/2 onion and 5 cloves garlic (we love garlic). I will make this instead of lasagna from now on. Thank you!
     
  2. I found this to be sooo yummy and so did DS. To the meat i added garlic powder, dried basil and oregano, and dried italian herbs. I then added chopped onions, green pepper and mushrooms. Once cooked, i mixed in mushroom flavoured spaghetti sauce and a little sugar. I kept picking at the meat with the cheese mix while the pasta was cooking and i couldnt wait. It was scrumptious and really satisfying!
     
  3. It was absoutely yummy. Only exception I made was I used 1 cup of mozzarella instead of 3/4 cup. It really fixed my craving for lasagna without the time comsumption.
     
  4. This looks great! I have a super easy lasagna casserole that doubles as a freezer meal to help save time down the road. Great for meal trains, expecting families, and busy families. https://thekitchensinkk.com/2017/03/03/lasagnacasserole/
     
  5. Yum! tasted just like my my mom's lasagna without all the work. I used all mozzarella because I was out of Parmesan cheese but it was still delicious!

  1. Pretty good! Will make again! I used 15 oz ricotta instead of cottage. I will use less ricotta next time. I also used italian seasonings, basil, oregano seasonings. Used turkey instead of ground beef. Just as great! Couldn't even tell it was turkey! Yummy recipe!
