This recipe is pretty good, but I like a heartier, more tomatoey lasagna.

this was a great recipe. Easy to make. I prepared it ahead of time and threw it in the frig. Cooked the next day and it was wonderful. Great taste. Would make this one again

This recipe was quick and easy to make. The sautéed veggies were great alone but we all felt that the finished lasagna tasted very bland.
