    This is the BEST lasagna I have ever had. I wrote a review of it on another site, and I'm making it again today. I like to use half sweet and half hot Italian sausage, an additional garlic clove, and no-boil lasagna noodles. Otherwise, follow the recipe exactly. It is worth all the effort and then some!
