I've made this recipe 3 or 4 times now and getting ready to make it again and just read through some of the other reviews which complain about the quantities etc. So...for those of you who are looking to make this awesome recipe, it's true, I think there are a few modifications you need to make, but it's well worth effort. 1.) Yes, I don't know what kind of lasagna pan he was using, but you don't need 2 pounds of lasagna noodles...one package is fine...but i use two anyway as I always end up tearing some of the noodles and want to make sure I have enough. And since they are probably the cheapest thing to buy for this recipe...I don't sweat it. 2.) The amount of sausage is fine...not too much at all...so no worries there. I thought it could actually take a bit more. 3.) The pepperoni...I bought 2 packages of the pre-sliced which was plenty...probably 16 oz altogether...which of course is about 2 cups. 4.) The sauce for this recipe is THE BEST...and you have to make it from scratch...don't take the easy way out and put on jar sauce...you will love this...BUT...the lasagna needs more than the recipe...so I would double the recipe plus I always add a can of San Marzano tomatoes to the sauce for a little extra somethin' somethin'. 5.) It takes way longer than you think. And i wouldn't call it Easy...due to the amount of prep required...but it is sooo good and your guests will love it. Truly.
Oh maaaan... deeeelicious....

Great lasagna receipe!. I made it for my friends and was even asked for the receipe. This is a big deal as they never ask for the receipe as they log on here and find them first! Great dinner. I will admit the tomato sauce was a little time consuming. It did taste great though!

Wowsers! Talk about a change up! I love to put a twist on things as my palette gets very bored, and this lasagna was perfect! My fiance saw this lasagna on your show and moxied it for me to make. (Go figure!) LOL I varied the recipe just a bit, I used a jarred sauce (Prego Garlic & Italian Sausage and just added some fresh basil...) The lasagna turned out perfect! It was sooooo easy to make, I am 25 years old and I am not the best at cooking, but this was so easy and so delicious! I have made this twice already in the past week! Once for us originally, and then again for a Halloween party last night and 2 huge pans of it were swiped up faster then you can say Pepperoni. I call it Peppy Lasagna. :) Guy, Thank You so much for this recipe! Everyone you have to try it. I might give it a try with the original sauce recipe that was included, but even the jarred sauce I bought still worked great! 5 Stars on ease of prep, and 5000 stars on taste. :)

This was very easy to make and both of my teenage boys loved it. What a great way to take the grease out of the pepperoni by cooking it first.

I am getting ready to make this for a second time this evening. I made it for the first time 3 weeks ago when we had company for dinner and between 5 of us the entire HUGE pan was gone! I did take some short cuts since I have a little one running around but I cannot imagine the longer way would result in any better results. I used a very good quality jarred tomoato sauce and I added a small can tomoto paste as well as an additional can of stewed tomatoes and the sauce amount was perfect. I also only used one box of lasagne and I didn't even use all of that. I used cottage cheese instead of ricotta and I layered in my own preferred method. I make a great traditional lasagne but my husband now prefers this one over my traditional one. Also, for those of you who question whether or not to fry the pepeeroni - do it! It is an essential part of the recipe and creates a nice texture to the dish. Of course, you may have to fry extra as my husband sat there and popped them in his mouth as they came out of the pan.
Delicious & nice presentation

When I saw Guy making this lasagna, I knew right then I had to try this recipe. My husband just raved about it, & my son had 3 helpings that night. Guess he liked it too. I have never fried pepperoni before, but wow, what a fantastic aroma there was in my kitchen. The lasagna was pretty easy to make & delicious. With adding 2 pounds of sausage & the pepperoni, it makes a pretty big pan of lasagna. I will make it again.
very good but best the next day

My son wanted lasagna for his birthday and my husband sugested this one. I had way too many noodles and I bought too little sausage and peperoini. It turned out great just the right amount. The sauce was great. We will make it again but only 1 box of noodles and with the reduced amount of sausage and peperoini. I felt the directions were hard to follow having not seen the instructions on the show.

I thought it was GREAT!! I used chicken apple sausage, adn I used cottage cheese instead. I added milk and sugar to the spaghetti sauce. I know alittle weird but good. I took the sausage out of its casing. I follwed the instructions the rest if the way. I drain pepperoni grease, too greasy. Major heartburn. That is why I added milk, and sugar. I let sauce sit for about 1/2 hour. I also used canned crushed,pured tomtaoes. The longer the sauce sets the better. Sorry Guy to have changed your recipe. I love you, and I am so glad you won. I love the Next Food Network Star. Go Rory!!!

I would not rate this as easy because it is time consuming to cook the sausage, pepperoni, noodles, and sauce before baking it. I did not see the added benifit in frying the pepperoni ahead of time and wouldn't bother with that step again. I would recommend buying the pepperoni on the log and slicing it yourself. You get a much better taste that way. I liked the layering method instead of mixing everything in with the ricotta. This lasagna was ok, but not the best I ever made.

Ok I made this lasagna tonight and it was really good. Except the part when I was done making the tomato sauce both my husband and I were scared of it. And with it taking up an hour to prep I didnt have time to make another from scratch. So we ran to the store and bought some ragu...it worked, but I would have rather had homeade. The rest of the dish was awesome though! Like a big gooey pizza. YUM.

I have to make this again because everybody devoured this including the neighbors. Very deceiving though putting the sauce instructions at the end - takes and hour to make and needs to be done first. DO NOT USE JAR SAUCE!! This sauce recipe MAKES the Dish! I also used hot and sweet turkey sausage since there was enough pig and fat that I needed to cut it out and am I sure it tasted just as good. We are now spoiled and will never eat lasagna any other way - this was absolutely amazing and the crispy pepperoni, bananas!

I'm new to cooking and this recipe was easy to follow, didn't have too many ingredients and tasted fantastic. My girlfriend doesn't like lasagna usually, but she loved this. I took it to work and everything ate it up real quick. The only bad thing I could think of about this dish is that it is a little pricey with the cheeses and the meats, especially if you get them from your Italian deli like I did. BUT, as far as taste goes, this was absolutely fantastic!

There was nice sauce on the plate and that was good to slop up This was very very good and very easy and tasted so good your should serve this to guests and relatives.

I saw this on Guy's show and made it the next day. I changed a couple of things. I cooked the sausage in the tomato sauce, which gave the sauce more flavor and also sandwiched the pepperoni between a layer of smoky provolone and shredded reggiano. My daughter, who "hates lasagna" loved this recipe. I also made it for a friend and after she told our other friends about it, they were asking me when they were going to be invited over to try this delicious dinner. Thanks Guy!

I don't even like cheese that much and this lasagna was amazing! my brother thought it had too much sausage... well, he's no fun anyways :-p. I did not see the show, so i wasn't sure how the sausage was to be prepared, but I uncased it and cooked it that way. I also used prego sauce because I only had a couple hours to make dinner- It took much longer than I had anticipated, like, one or two hours before I put it in the oven to bake. All and all though, it was a great recipe, and my parents thought it was delicious and had seconds! This thing is a beast though! It'll feed you for days!

User: JOYCE from ORANGE, VA User Rating:
This was a very different type of "lasagna"; I personally am tired of the basically all sauce, and little meat lasagna recipes. I used one box of lasagna noodles and the pepperoni measuresment of 2 cups seemed to be more than what he fried up on the show; I used what I thought was appropriate,as I put the dish together; can't really say what amount that was, but I loved the flavor. As for greasy; the point of frying it is to de-grease it somewhat, and then drain on paper towels. The sausage also was cooked and drained. For you folks who think it was too much meat and fat; try watching Elie Krieger or Robin Miller; probably more what you are looking for. Keep up the bold meaty dishes coming, Guy, and ignore the base negative nerds sounding off here. Everyone should know enough about Guy Fiere and his style to know he is about regular, bold "guy" food; he won the competition b/c some of us like our fat in our meals and count on eating meat regularly, and are not afraid of strong flavors. I am tired of getting hash browns with no onions, b/c "some people" don't like onions. Grease and meat are part of lasagna, unless you want to go vegetarian, but I personally don't and neither do a large segment of the viewing audience. Rock on GUY!!

Way too much meat and way too much fat; what was I thinking wasting time and money on something like this? Try more flavor in your dishes Guy instead of fat or get off the air.
Too Much!

I agree with the other reviews - one pound (box) of noodles would be fine. Guy also used a larger dish than most people have and I ended up making 2 small ones. Flavor was EXCELLENT. Would double the tomato sauce recipe, or do a 1.5 recipe. The 2 cups of pepperoni threw me - I used about 1.5 lbs. Overall - pretty good!
Wonderful twist to tradional lasagna

Great tasty dish. If you drain the pepperoni and sausage it cuts the grease and calories. I would definatley make this dish again

I made this for my husband's birthday. We were both skeptical about the fried pepperoni but it was delicious. My husband is Italian so we used our own sauce recipe. The kids thought the lasagna was a little spicy, but my husband and I LOVED it. I will definitley make this over and over. Thanks GUY!

This called for too many noodles and too much sausage. It was way too salty from my pepperoni and not enough sauce. And the price, outrageous for such a disaster!
Great, with modifications!

This was actually my first shot at lasagna. I had a lot of fun cooking this dish, and the final result was really tasty. My family loved it! That said, I'd make some modifications. As some reviewers have mentioned, the amount of sausage and noodles was overkill. I used just shy of one pound of sausage. (When you use less, try a spicy Italian sausage. It really gives the lasagna some kick!) I wish I'd bought more ricotta as well, and the next time I make this, I'll double the sauce recipe. It was delicious, and I just barely had enough for my dish. I would have liked to include more sauce in the lasagna -- and have some for my freezer for later meals!
AWESOME

My version of this didn't turn out so hot. I could tell it wouldn't turn out right when I noticed there were too many noodles and not enough sauce. My hubby ate it and liked it pretty much. I wasn't ashamed of it, but I wouldn't serve it to company.

I watched him make this and decided to try it. First of all, I almost always follow the recipe and make no modifications. Two POUNDS of noodles and two POUNDS of sausage is just way too much---but I made it anyway. On top of this, it calls for two CUPS of pepperoni (would have been easier if he had given a real measurement here as you can't go go the deli and ask for two cups of pepperoni). Anyhow, aside from the ingredients being way off, this was a noodly, salty, tasteless mess. There was definitely not enough sauce, way too many noodles (even though only half would even fit) and it was just too meaty and tasteless. If you put pepperoni on top (per the recipe) it just burns up. I will not stray from my traditional lasagna recipe again. This was just plain gross and was very time consuming to make. I should have gone with my instincts and saved my family from this culinary disaster!
Fun for two

It was a nice twist on lasagna. It is especially fun for couples to cook together. My husband watched the show and then we worked together to make the dish. I normally don't make lasagna because I find it too tedious to do alone. He like the recipe, so I made the sauce and added my own twists while he cooked the meat and put the dish together. It was very good.
bad version of lasagna

It tasted like a noodle sandwich with a lot of meat. Did not taste like a creamy stuffed Italian Lasagna. This is the third recipe I have tried by this Chef. All three were miserable.
Amazing with your help!

I have made a lot of lasagna in my house but this was by far the BEST and easiest recipe. I have 3 boys and they all made a comment about it. I guess it was time to change things up a bit, man am I glad I did. Thanks Guy, Your The Best!

This was a bad recipe. I cooked the two pounds of noodles and it only took one pound. There wasn't enough ingredients to do three layers. I didn't put any sauce on the bottom and then only had enough to do two layers of sauce/meat. There wasn't even enough sauce to put on top. Has good potential but I will definately never make again and would not recommend to anyone.
Way too Salty!

I spent half of my Sunday afternoon preparing this recipe and it smelled and looked delicious. Unfortunately I think it was the pepperoni that made it super salty. We could not eat it, that's how bad it was. Sorry Guy, this one was not a keeper!
Yum-O! (Sorry, Rach)

This is so easy and delicious. I'll admit, though, I cheated the 2nd time I made it & used canned fire roasted tomatoes instead of making my own sauce. Also, I find it works better in the 9x14 pan instead of the 9x9.

My family loved this lasagna. I will still make the traditional kind but when I really want to kick it up a notch this is what I will serve. As for everyone's complaints about too many noodles or sausage, not enough sauce, etc. I suggest that they move out of their comfort zone and change the recipe to suit their taste. Way to go Guy!!!
