    This was really yum, and a nice difference to regular lasagne. Some of my lasagne sheets didn't cook properly as they mixture didn't stick too well, so small corners go dried out, but otherwise it was really yummy. I used silver beet instead of spinach, and that was yummy too. I might Use a bit less ricotta next time. Great recipe, thank you.

    Yum!  I made with dry lasagne sheets too and cooked for 30 mins with foil on then about 20 without foil. I loved it! It's a tiny bit dry so when I reheat it I'll add a bit of water and maybe next time I might even put a bit of water or chicken stock in before I cook it in the oven. I used about half a bag of mozzarella, and only about 300g ricotta I didn't think it needed 500.very good lasagne thank you

    I made this with dried lasagna sheets and used almond milk instead of cream and didn't use any mozzarella cheese as it wasn't in the ingredients. I cooked it with foil covering the dish for 40 mins and then cooked it uncovered for another 15 mins. Turned out delicious. I give it 5 stars.
