This lasagna was okay. It wasn't the best lasagna I've ever had, but it wasn't bad either. The flavor was a bit bland for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I made this lasagna last night and it was a disaster. The sauce was bland and the cheese was rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I'm lactose intolerant and I've been craving lasagna for months. This lasagna was just as good as the ones I used to make before I had to go lactose-free. Thank you!

I'm not lactose intolerant, but I made this lasagna for a friend who is. It was delicious! I couldn't tell the difference between this and a regular lasagna. I'll definitely be making this again, even for myself!

This lactose-free spinach lasagna was a hit with my family! The recipe was easy to follow and the lasagna turned out perfectly. It was cheesy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spinach. I would definitely make this again.
