This was the worst lasagna I've ever had. The noodles were overcooked, the sauce was bland, and the cheese was rubbery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The lasagna was a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. I would recommend adding more sauce next time.

The lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but overall it was still a good dish. I would recommend using less cheese next time.
