I thought this lasagna was just average. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to write home about either.

I'm not sure what happened, but my lasagna turned out really dry. Maybe I didn't use enough sauce?

I made this lasagna last night and it was a disaster. The noodles were overcooked and the sauce was bland.

I've made this lasagna a few times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of beef sausage, ricotta, and spinach is delicious.
