I liked this alot and so did everybody who ate it, but the filling was a bit runny. Maybe the ricotta needs to be drained or something? I'll tweak it a little next time and try to firm up the filling. I'll definitely make it again though! - 28 May 2003 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
My family enjoyed this recipe but we decided to make our own speghetti sauce to add some extra flavor. We also used fresh mushrooms on top of this dish before cooking which made it very tasty. - 16 Jan 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
The only addition to the filling that i made was to add some shredded mozarella to it. I used it inside eggplant rolatini, which i wrapped inside a lasagna noodle and covered with marinara and mozzarella. Fantastic! - 15 Dec 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
