This lasagna was a bit too time-consuming to make. I think I would have liked it more if it had been easier to make. The zucchini noodles were a bit too soft for my liking as well.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had used less cheese. The zucchini noodles were a bit too soft for my liking as well.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it more if I had added some more salt and pepper. The zucchini noodles were a bit too soft for my liking as well.
