This is a favorite of my family and friends. One of my former roommates gave it the name "crack" lasagna because everyone who has had it is hooked on the stuff.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lasagna turned out bland and watery. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this recipe.

This lasagna is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my guests. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve.

I followed the recipe exactly and the lasagna came out dry and overcooked. I'm not sure what went wrong.
