good. it's like lasagne but with a different pasta. I added minced garlic & sweet onion to the meat sauce, sautéed first. used one link of Jennie-O sweet Italian sausage & 1/4 lb. of lean ground beef (cutting calories) & made 1/2 the recipe. It's hard to cook for one.

Pretty good but I thought it could’ve used more flavor. I’ve never had ricotta before so I’m not sure what it’s supposed to taste like, but I’m not sure I was a huge fan of it. Easy enough to make though.

Awesome outcome!! My children enjoyed it very much, so much so, that they even asked for seconds!! As an adult though, I have to agree with the other reviewers on the fact that it might need a bit more flavor. I read one review where they mentioned using Italian sausage instead of ground beef for more flavor, and I think next time I will try it with the sausage.

Simple meal, none gone to waste. As some suggested, next time going to try more sauce and less ricotta.

turned out good but personally I think i would use a little more sauce it was a little dry

family loved it ! would definitely make again (added a little bit more of the seasoning the recommended just to make sure it was flavorful)

Used 15oz of ricotta and 8oz of mozzarella. Still plenty of cheese to get the job done. Will use Italian sausage next time for a stronger flavor profile. Everyone cleared their plate, great base recipe to tweak or build on.

Amazing!!! I loved it my family loved it definitely making it a regular at my house. Really fast and easy to make just watch your cheese closely, mine was browned a lot after 30 mins but it still came out amazing fool proof dish.

I use Italian sausage instead of ground beef. Since the oven is hot anyway, I peel 5 sausage links and slice them and bake about 10-15 minutes. The flavor is a more robust Italian for us! It's a great easy fix for a crowd!
