I tinkered with this recipe four or five times before I got it down to what it is now. It's easy-all you do is mess up two pots-but it tastes as good as the lasagnas that are a big production.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese instead. It turned out great!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lasagna turned out dry and tasteless. I'm going to try a different recipe next time.

This lasagna was a bit too heavy for my taste. I think I'll try a lighter recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my lasagna didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have used the wrong type of cheese.

I had high hopes for this lasagna, but it turned out to be a disappointment. The sauce was bland and the noodles were overcooked.
