"Made this recipe tonight as written except left out lemon (didn't have any).. It was excellent and hubs commented on its great flavor. It's a keeper in my family. Only thing I didn't understand was the 2 pans. Would have had to double recipe to fill 2 pans as 12 rolls and sauce fit fine in one pan."
"I used the dried versions of all the herbs, and omitted the salt. Confession - I didn't measure the cheese. Life is too short to measure cheese. The ricotta comes in a container, so I know that was 15oz. The mozz and parm, I just eyeballed, more than likely a little more than generously. Since I only had 9 noodles, I only made one pan of rolls. I used about 26 ounces of sauce, about half a large jar, adding in a pinch of brown sugar and a sprinkle of each of the herbs."
"I made this two nights ago , although I did make one change in the recipe by using "hot" sausage for some extra flavor and spice as my entire family really likes a lot of spice. This was easy and excellent! My family and three of my sons friends all loved it!
I will be making this again for sure. I really liked the brightness the lemon and zest gave to the recipe! It's a keeper!!""Very good"
"Would use cottage instead of ricotta cheese, (It's a texture thing) and basil, oregano, garlic and bay leaves for seasoning ; omitting the k lemon too"
"My husband makes the lasagna for us usually. A 6 hour process from start to finish. When we want lasagna but without the big hassle of it, I make this. I usually get 9 noodles out of mine. Definitely a keeper."
"Very easy and really good. Since there are only two of us I divided it into thirds. Only problem is that I ran out of filling and ended up with 10 rolls. But for
us that's fine. We definitely make again""This was easy to make, I like this because it was my turn to cook and I got two meals our of it (well actually 3 or four, just my wife and I ). I am just getting back into cooking since I retired and I found this a easy meal, it left time to make salad and make some garlic bread. Next time no Rosemary, instead Sweet Basil, someone mentioned adding mushrooms , I like that idea. BTW the dinner turned out good, on time an hot."
