“Love this recipe. It is a fair bit of work but we love the creamy aspect the bechamel and less tomato sauce give it. Especially important is to use thin flat lasagna noodles rather than traditional. We used a flat oven ready Barilla product n.399.” — a cook, 5★
“The recipe was labor intensive. The presentation was wonderful, but somehow the recipe was lacking. Given all the work, I would have wanted it to be excellent. I wish it were more flavorful.” — a cook, 3★
