I would have liked this lasagna more if it had more cheese. I also think it would have been better if I had used fresh zucchini and red peppers instead of frozen.

This lasagna was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lasagna didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The zucchini and red peppers were a bit too mushy for my taste.

This lasagna is a bit more time-consuming to make than some other recipes, but it's worth the effort. The end result is a delicious and impressive dish.

I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but this lasagna changed my mind. The zucchini and red peppers were cooked perfectly and the flavors all came together so well.
