Was this review helpful? Yes FlagOutstanding! I've been looking for a good Tuscan lasagna recipe since losing my tried and true one. We lived in Tuscany for a while and my son loved our landlady's lasagna and begs me to make it. He won't touch the ricotta kind. I made this one day and waited until the next day to bake it, givingt the flavors time to settle and mingle. Delicious!

Was this review helpful? Yes FlagI made this last night for my grand-daughter and all I can say is O U T S T A N D I N G !!! I wasn't to sure about the pork sausage at first but it was great. My grand-daughter went back for seconds and by the time she was done she had this glazed look in her eyes but she was happy. Wonderful recipe, I gave it a 5.
