Amazing Lasagna

by Alexandra F 3 weeks ago
The recipe is really easy to follow and very flavourful, by far the best lasagna that I have ever made. I didn't have mozzarella cheese or parmesan cheese on hand so I used marble cheese and it still came out really tasty. My husband loved it and I will for sure be making it again, next time I'll be sure to use mozarella and parmesan!

Perfect Lasagna

by Carrie Anderson 2 months ago
This recipe comes out perfectly. I used no bake noodles & that worked just fine. Nice slices of lasagna, not a spoon of soupy mess. A keeper.

This was so good my husband bragged about it at work so now I get to make it for his potluck. My son said it was the BEST lasagna he has ever had. He's a picky eater. :)

I have made many lasagna recipes over the years and this is by far my favorite. The key really is the sausage.

I loved it!

by Tazzy 1 year ago
I changed the recipe a little: I added half a pound of beef 96% lean, and added mushrooms to sneak in some more veggies to my diet. I loved it and I will make this recipe again for a potluck party coming up.

I don't have a comment, but I do have a question... Why is the egg necessary?

The egg is required to bind the ricotta cheese together so it will not be runny.
