The lasagna was bland and flavorless. I had to add a lot of extra seasoning to make it taste good.

The instructions were a bit confusing. I had to re-read them several times before I understood what to do.

The microwave lasagna was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add more sauce next time.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I used cottage cheese instead. It was still delicious.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I've always wanted to try lasagna but was intimidated by the long cooking time. This microwave version is so easy and quick, and it tastes just as good as the traditional version.
