Perplexing. With the chocolate-hazelnut spread, this is a vary unusual lasagna taste combination, like a sweet mole, so that should be reflected in the title. I used a smaller pan (28 x 18 x 5 cm or 11x7 in), but I didn't have enough of either sauce to cover a layer. Consequently some of my top lasagna sheets were still quite brittle. This just didn't work for me. I am not sure how I would correct this recipe; I would be interested to hear from I'mPat about her experience with it. Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game.
