This was a nice change from regular lasagna. I liked the crispy edges of the pasta and the gooey cheese in the middle.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my spasagna turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much sauce.

This was a disaster! The spasagna was dry and tasteless. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.

This was a good recipe, but I found it to be a little bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
