August 31, 2011 at 10:40 amI’m SO glad I saved this in my inbox for later reading. It’s bookmarked and ready to be made. It looks absolutely fantastic. I love the fact that I don’t have to use the oven or take the time putting the layers together. That’s the kind of thing that’s made me shy away from lasagna. Thanks for passing this along.

January 1, 2016 at 6:41 pmYour recipe says “no cook” lasagna noodles. Does that mean regular lasagna noodles that are uncooked or something else?

March 28, 2019 at 1:57 pmWhy would you put onion soup in Lasagna? That is just gross. I would never use that in Lasagna
