Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Lasagna can be assembled ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, uncover and bake as directed.

Shortcut

Substitute no-boil lasagna noodles for the cooked lasagna noodles. Assemble lasagna as directed; cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 45 min. Uncover; bake 15 min. or until heated through.

Classic Lasagna with Meat

Cook 1/2 lb. each Italian sausage, with casing removed and ground beef until cooked through; drain. Assemble lasagna as directed, adding a layer of 1/3 of the meat mixture after each layer of the ricotta cheese mixture.

My husband and I loved this Lasagna and the baking time was so quick. Only thing I would change next time is use two jars of sauce, more spices and an extra egg. The filling seemed kind of dry. Other then that it was great! Go to Lasagna!

This is my go to recipe for when I'm making dinner for a group. I love it and so does everyone else! I add more spices and make it with more cheese, about 1 1/2 what the recipe calls for. And one can of sauce isn't enough. I've made it with the meat too, which is delicious, just adds to prep time.

I ajusted recipe to using fresh basil instead of parsley, added garlic also. This recipe is similar to my grandmother's except for the basil and garlic. MMMMMMMMM came out so good. I froze half so when my friend comes to visit she can enjoy it too. thank you

I think this needs more sauce and spices like oregano and Italian seasoning. Made with half hot Italian sausage and half ground chuck and otherwise as the recipe states.

This was very tasty and easy to make. This was my first time making lasagna, so I used a little too much ingredients in my first layers and ran out of sauce before the third layer. Still tasted great!
