Babs7, this was truly a miracle! It was so good and so easy. I used a homemede marinara sauce, and everything else as directed in the recipe.

I love this Lasagna. I've encouraged others to try it. It was so easy to make. Saves so much time and effort not cooking the noodles. I'd never have thought to make Lasagna because of all the time and effort, but this makes it easy. Thanks for sharing.

Made this for Zaar Alphabet Soup Game 2009. I did brown up some ground beef and a little turkey sausage I had left with some garlic and onion and added the mixture to the sauce. (DH likes meat.) Other than that I followed the directions and I did put it in an 8" x 8" dish. I have never used uncooked lasagna noodles before but the dish turned out fabulously and quite easy to do. Definately will make this again. I might add some mushrooms but thank you for a wonderful dish!

This is really easy and very tasty! We like our lasagna a little thicker so I add an extra "layer" of cooked ground beef, chicken or even pepperoni! Then just add one more layer of noodles, then sauce and bake as directed. Not cooking the noodles is really a time-saver! I have made this numerous times (in an 8 x 8 square pan) with different meat variations...it's always excellent. Thanks for posting!

This was a "miracle". My DD loves Lasagna and I hate putting it together, but this was so easy and quick. I used meat flavored sauce and it tasted wonderful. This will be my "go to" lasagna recipe from now on. I put it in an 8 x 8 square and it baked beautiful. It was a perfect size for the 2 of us and I have lunch leftovers!!
