This is the perfect lasagna. The first time I made this was for a birthday party and everyone loved it. It has to be one of the best lasagnas I have ever tasted.

This is probably the best Lasagna from RZ! I have tried at least 2 other ones. My lasagna always seems to dry out. Not with this one. This was creamy and delicious! I will definitely increase the the garlic next time. The only change I made was to use hot turkey sausage. This is my lasagna recipe from now on, yeah!

Okay, this is the best lasagna I have ever pulled off! I skipped the sausage and used all ground beef, added a little chopped onion and more spices-EXCELLENT! I personally think the fresh parsley added so much. This is one for the recipe books. In fact, I am going to make two pans for company this weekend. Oh-I did use the no-boil noodles-perfect. Leftovers tonight! Thanks!

Made this tonight for dinner and got rave reviews all around. We're not usually fussy about lasagna but everyone agreed that this was the best lasagna any of us had tasted in a long time. Followed the directions exactly. Great recipe. Thanks!
