This feeds a crowd. It is wonderful, my friends and I in MN got this recipe from a Italian cookbook in the library, of course we did not write down the title or the author of the book. We have all made this for many years! It is great with a tossed green salad, garlic bread and a good merlot wine!

amazingly rich and smooth andtaste! only wished i had fennel seeds. it's been a while since i made time to make a lasagna; i'm so glad this was my welcome-back! beaner, you ain't kidding about feeding a crowd. i had to use 2 11x7x2 oval dish to fit it all in. the only reason i couldn't give it a 5 star is because i thought it used too much meat. i would use only about 1/2 - 3/4 the ground beef next time.

    This was absolutely amazing. I have never made lasagna before and this one went off without a hitch, not only was it delicious, it really wasn't too difficult. I am over the moon that I now have a reliable go to lasagna recipe.

    Excellent! I didn't need that many noodles, and I upped the ricotta because we like extra. This was fantastic and even better the next day — freezes really well, too! Thanks!

    I just made those Lasagne and it was really delicious. I substitued Italian sausage with Chorizo (spanish/mexican sausage) and served with fresh sour cream. I can really recommend this recipe.
