I'm not sure what went wrong, but my lasagna turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me, and the lasagna didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

This lasagna was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I will definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
