This lasagna was a disaster! The quinoa was not cooked properly and the kale was too bitter. The sauce was also bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly but my lasagna turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it. However, the flavor was good. I will try again and be more careful with the cooking time.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. However, the texture was good and the quinoa and kale were a nice touch. With a few tweaks, this could be a great recipe.
