This was good. It wasn't very fussy to make although smearing the cream cheese mixture on top of the noodles was a bit messy for me. I never pre-cook my noodles, I always just use regular noodles, uncooked and they cook perfectly from all the sauce in the lasagna. I still love a traditional lasagna, but this is good if you are just wanting to try something different.
