Outstanding Northern Italian Lasagna image

Northern Italian Lasagna is usually a bit different than the Sicilian Lasagna we are accustomed too. No Ricotta cheese in this Lasagna. White sauce is used in place of it, with plenty of Mozzarella. This is one of my families all time favorite dishes.I have tweaked,and made this recipe my own through the years. Make this Lasagna...

This lasagna was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This lasagna was a waste of time and money. It was tasteless and the noodles were mushy.

This lasagna was way too cheesy for my liking. I had to scrape off some of the cheese before I could eat it.

I followed the recipe exactly but my lasagna didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked it.

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