I have made this recipe a couple of time. It's the easiest, fastest recipe ever! Three different cheeses, is my favorite part.

This was very good, quick and easy! It did taste like lasagna. Nice quick meal for if you're craving an Italian meal. Definite make again.

I made this recipe for dinner last night and my hubby said it was possibly the best dinner ever! I made one addition...I sliced a can of black olives and added them a few minutes before I added the ricotta with basil. Yummy! I was impressed with how perfectly cooked the noodles were. I will definitely make this again!

My whole family liked this. I added a little oregano to the ricotta and stirred it all into the cooked noodles. This is a good recipe for a busy day.

This is so easy and delicious! I follow the recipe pretty closely, adding browned hamburger, though, and using cottage cheese. I changed it up a bit this last time, and put 1/2 of it on the bottom, layered cottage cheese and Kraft 5 Cheese Italian, then layered the noodle mixture, and topped with cottage cheese and more Kraft 5 cheese. SUPER good!!!

I was a bit skeptical about the method of this lasagna but it turned out great. I didn't have any problems with it and my whole family enjoyed it.

Eh...nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary, it tasted like a regular pasta dish. I would only make it again because my family enjoyed it however it didn't taste that great. Although I did not use ricotta cheese, maybe that was the reason. Next time I will use ricotta cheese.
