I followed the recipe exactly, but my lasagna didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was a bit dry and the flavors were bland.

I was skeptical about a lasagna recipe that only takes 3 ingredients, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was easy to make and tasted great! I'll definitely be making it again.
