This is a great recipe. I did add a pound of lean ground beef that I had browned to the spagetti sauce. I have made this several times for company and also have taken it to a family with a new baby. This recipe has never failed for me and it tastes great.

My husband LOVES lasagna and I didn't have time to make my traditional recipe. Tried this easy version and it is delicious! I had some seasoned ground beef in the fridge and added that to the sauce. I put the ground beef, sauce and water in a bowl and microwaved it for about 10 minutes while I prepared my cheese mixture. This was in the oven in no time flat! We used an Italian sausage and garlic flavored sauce. I will make this again. Thanks for the recipe!

Delicious! My dh made this for dinner tonight using some leftover spaghetti sauce that we had in the fridge. Very good and easy! Thanks for sharing!

Easy to make, and good tasting. I replaced the ricotta cheese with cottage cheese (it's cheaper)and added a pound of ground beef. Let me reiterate. Quick, easy, and tastes good. How can you go wrong?
