This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I'll use less cheese next time.

The lasagna was good, but it was a lot of work to make. I think I'll stick to buying lasagna from the store.

This lasagna was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

The lasagna was good, but it wasn't anything special. I've had better lasagna at other restaurants.

This lasagna was a bit too heavy for my taste. The meat sauce was a little too greasy and the cheese was overwhelming.

This recipe was easy to follow and the lasagna turned out great. I used ground beef instead of sausage and it was still delicious.
