Lasagna Prep PointersTo keep lasagna from becoming soupy, be certain to drain the noodles well and pat them dry. Use a thick tomato sauce. Add a beaten egg to the ricotta or cottage cheese filling to help bind it together. Saute and drain well any vegetables such as mushrooms or zucchini that may add extra liquid. Be sure to let baked lasagna stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Another option is to try no-boil lasagna noodles, which absorb extra moisture while cooking. They can be found in the pasta section of most grocery stores.

Very good... I used wheat noodles instead for extra nutrition.

Great recipe--can't wait to make it for company. If you check the recipe again, you'll see that it is lowfat, low calorie, etc.

I thought this did not taste right, and had to alter the meat sauce considerably, which helped a lot. Also, the instructions for assembly do not work. There are just not enough ingredients to do 3 layers of each. I also ended up saving all of the mozza for the top and it still wasn't enough.

I use this recipe but use sweet Italian sausage (not turkey), leave out the ground beef, leave out the onion, use tomato paste and a can of spaghetti sauce, lots of garlic and onion powder, basil ricotta cheese, leave out the diced tomatoes, add sugar to taste, leave out the fennel seed and pepper, no egg (yuk), no parsley and no salt. With the changes I rate this 5 stars.

I substituted egg noodles and used no fennel seed. Egg noodles make it lighter. It was delicious.

I make this recipe quite often, but I make it a bit healthier. (ie, wheat lasagna noodles, Italian flavored ground turkey, splenda, lowfat cheeses. It is delicious!!! It also freezes well. I line 2 9x9 pans with foil, make this, then freeze. When I am ready for it, I can pop it back in a pan and cook.

I have made this recipe several times. It is easy and very very good. I don't use fennel seed, (Don't have any) but I won't make any other lasagna after I had this.
