I'm not a huge fan of lasagna, but this recipe was really good. The flavors were well-balanced and it wasn't too heavy.

This lasagna was easy to make and it turned out great! I used a jar of Alfredo sauce instead of making my own and it was still delicious.

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