This is the best lasagna ever!! The noodles are so nice and thin and there is NO PREBOILING!! I will never purchase any other lasagna other than Barilla. I've been making this now for 3 years and everyone agrees--the recipe makes the very best! The instructions are right on the back of the lasagna box. I usually make multiple batches and freeze them. Its a great housewarming or "new baby" meal for a friend!

This was delicious and my kids gobbled it up! My one problem was there was not enough sauce on the top layer, so the top layer noodles curled up and were very crispy.

I'm more of a meat and cheese person, so I made 2 meat layers with about a total of 2-1/2lbs of meat. A reviewer said recipe was bland, so I added garlic powder, Italian season, oregano, a small amount of nutmeg (as another reviewer suggested) along with Garlic Parmesan season and roasted garlic and herb season to ricotta mixture. Also, I used 2 /8oz softened mozzarella ball with some shredded mozzarella, shredded colby /jack cheeses. for ricotta mixture. I used sweet Italian sausage and ground beef (seasoned with garlic, onion powder, oregano,and greek season.) I used cooked Parmesan spinach mixed with a portion of ricotta mixture on bottom layer only. Wherever recipe called for shredded mozzarella, I also added some shredded Colby /Jack cheese.. I heated only 1 -1/2 jars of pasta sauce with the above mentioned dry seasons, 2 teaspoons of sugar and a little olive oil for my sauce before layering. Absolutely fantastic!!!

Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese mixture; you'll be amazed and impressed. Trick from my grandmother who was from Italy. Sometimes I use all ground Italian sausage, sometimes a mixture of that and ground beef. -
I’ve built off this one by adding a pack of frozen spinach and Italian seasoning (a generous tablespoon) to the cheese mixture, and then instead of assembling in a 9 x 13 pan, I put it in three separate loaf pans (check to make sure the noodles fit in the bottom, some are small). I agree as written the recipe can be a bit bland, so liven it up as you like (i use half mild and half hot sausage). These smaller tins freeze brilliantly... defrost 24h before cooking and then extend cooking time from 60m to 70 or 75 per current package directions. A great weeknight dinner for two (plus usually a lunch serving, depending on appetites). -
This recipe is awesome! I did add garlic powder and Italian seasoning to the meat and to the ricotta mixture for added flavor. Other than that I followed the recipe and it came out perfect.
