This is really good - def. will be in my order each week!

Yep, its delish! Yummers!

Hello girls: You got that right. I love Italian food. This lasagna is almost as good as my husband's. I see that you are both new. Just stick to the menu and you will lose it. I'm doing it! Good-Luck.

i had it last nite and i wasnt too crazy about it
the pasta was so gummy and thick and it was a bit too spicy
maybe i will give it another chance

I just had the lasagna tonight for the first time and I won't buy that one again (I must add that I truly enjoy the JC food, so this is a rare thing for me to say that I don't like something).
I also found the pasta "gummy". I make a much nicer lasagna with the pasta cooked properly. So this one was a dissapointment to me.

Definitely time for me to sign off. It is after 10:00pm, and I have been sitting here reading about all this food and I think I will be better off in bed for now!

I thought it was really good. It was so rich and filling I couldn't believe how few calories it had! I love ricotta cheese. yeah, the pasta was a but gummy, but I didn't care.

I love the fact that the pasta is gummy - pasta that is thick is soo sinful -- I would much rather have chewy thick pasta than thin transparent weak noodles --especially in lasagna -- I also thought the lasagna used to be 240 calories and I just got some new stuff and it's 250?? Are all the JC foods changing??

I've noticed that alot of posts are mentioning different calorie counts than in previous years. I just joined the first week of December, but I've been reading a lot of posts. I'm italian and really don't care for ricotta cheese. Probably won't try the lasagna. That must be the german coming out in me.%20%20[img]http://www.3fatchicks.com/weight-tracker/holiday/img/bar-snow/frosty01/lb/147/130/142.5/.png">%20%20[/img]www.3fatchicks.com

This one is another one of my favourite meals. I love the spice that they use. One thing is that you do really need to let it sit for about a minute before you move it to your plate. That gives it time to firm up.

Maybe it makes a difference if it's cooked in the microwave or oven. For those who say the pasta is "gummy," which method did you use?

I used the Microwave and did let it sit for a good minute before taking off the plastic wrap. All my other meals turn out great in the microwave and I follow the instructions to the letter, so I was surprised to find the lasagna so "gummy".... eeeek
I liked the taste of the sauce etc... it was just the texture of the pasta itself that felt wrong.

Too spicy? Wow. I add lots of crushed red pepper to it!
That just goes to show how hard it can be to please all of the people all of the time.

I loved the lasagna tonight, I steamed up some baby spinach in the Mic and layered it in between the pasta..YUMMY and I did'nt have to eat the Broccoli again..

I tried the lasagna about a year ago and was SO disappointed. Lasagna is one of my favorite foods in the world too! I can't remember exactly what I didn't like about it, but I know I never wanted it again. I'm wondering if it's changed? Waiting to hear how people cook it. Maybe it's the microwave that's ruining it...

I microwave mine and then let it sit for about five minutes - yes, the pasta is thick but that's why I buy it - I consider it a huge bonus to have thick noodles in a dish that supposed to be "diet" - if JC changes this and starts using thin noodles that melt or disappear, I'm quitting because it wouldn't be lasagna if it was just a pile of ground crumbles and sauce -

I was without a microwave for a few weeks last month and had to cook all my JC foods in the oven. Here's what I found:
EVERY food tastes better when cooked in the oven - expecially the lasagna! I won't microwave it ever again. The flavor is much better baked.
Lasagna is now one of my favorites again. I love sliding it out onto a plate that is filled with green veggies. It makes me feel like I'm having a splurge!
Life IS good!
