I found this lasagna to be a bit too cheesy. I think it would have been better if it had less cheese and more vegetables.

I found this lasagna to be a bit bland. I think it needed more seasoning. I would also recommend using a different type of cheese, like mozzarella or provolone.

This lasagna was a bit too fishy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a different type of fish, like salmon or tilapia.
