Reviews

This recipe is advertised at "2" servings. I made enough (I thought) for 3 following the recipe. The quantity is more for 6 servings. Also, I poured the dressing over all approximately 2 hours before serving, added about 3/4 cup chopped basil & parsley. Served with garlic bread.

Lasagna Deliciousa

Wonderful recipe--makes an outstanding dish. Everyone enjoyed very much. Only suggestion: Use 32oz. of Ricotta and you can add more beef-1lb total and 1lb of sausage. But it came out delicious according to recipe. I definitely suggest this! Your guests will not be disappointed.
