I'm not a big fan of zucchini, but I really enjoyed this lasagna. The zucchini was cooked perfectly and didn't overpower the other flavors.

The lasagna was delicious, but it was very heavy. I felt like I needed a nap after eating it.

The zucchini lasagna was good, but it wasn't anything special. I wouldn't go out of my way to make it again.

This lasagna was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more spices or herbs.

This zucchini lasagna was a hit with my family! The zucchini added a delicious flavor and texture, and the ricotta and mozzarella cheeses were perfectly melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
