So good! I used a box of Barilla no boil lasagne, increased liquid with 2nd 28 oz. can tomatoes, only 1 can tomato paste. I used turkey hot Italian sausage, and put meat mixture through food processor after browning/draining for even grind. I used only 1 lb. of mozarella. Completely filled a 9x13x3 casserole. Baked it covered one hour on a cookie sheet to catch any spill, then uncovered with added parmesan for 5 to 10 minutes, and allowed to rest at least 15 minutes before serving. It held together beautifully, was both rich and light. Half of it fed six at my dinner party. Big hit!

This was awesome; my only complaint is that the author did not specify the size of pan. I used a 9x13x2 pan, which I thought was a "standard" "large" for lasagne, yet my HALF recipe filled the whole thing!! (I didn't even use the whole box of pasta!). Good thing I didn't make the whole recipe!!! Oh--and I did make some substitutions. Cottage cheese instead of ricotta; ground beef instead of sausage; colby cheese instead of the mozzarella and asiago. I can only IMAGINE how much better the flavor is with these ingredients; I just didn't have them on hand. I will continue to make this as a regular staple in our house...
