I just used the dried lasagne sheets but I’m sure the fresh would work fine.

Oh! I saw the recipe for the lasagne in the cookbook but I wasn’t sure about the fact of using dried lasagne sheets. I always buy fresh ones. Do you think that with fresh ones the result will be much different?
They look very good!!
