Great recipe, taste good and pretty easy to make.
Steven Rowe
I added minced garlic while browning the ground beef, along with fresh parsley, to compliment this hearty, fulfilling dish!
Christopher Miller
I made this for my staff for a company function. All loved it including one that used to cook professionally and another who is a foodie.
Melissa Henry
Great basic recipe!!! It was very good. Of course, I think the sauce you choose really makes a lasagna. I used just traditional style spaghetti sauce. Addition: I did whip an egg and 2T of dried parsley AND used ricotta cheese (not cottage cheese) before spreading it on the lasagna.
Jennifer Morton
loved it! I added some saute spinach and used 1/2 lb turkey and 1/2 lb turkey sausage.
Jasmin Horton
Great, easy recipe! I used 1.5 lbs ground beef and Prego Roasted Garlic Parmesan spaghetti sauce. The whole family loved it and already wants to have it again. Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Brianna Mcguire
this is an amazing recipe super simple everyone loved it
Andrea Shepard
I followed many tips from other reviewers–let lasagne noodles soak in a pan of hot water while you make the sauce. This one tip made making lasagne so much more doable. I also added a beaten egg to the cottage cheese to bind it together. This is a favorite in our family .
David Bowen
I used 1-1/2 pounds of ground beef and combined the cheeses along with a couple eggs for binding, as suggested in previous reviews. It was a hit!
Dawn King
I made this for the first time and it didn’t seem like the ingredients spread as much as they should have. Thank goodness I had extra cottage in the fridge and next time I will cook more of the meat
Kelly Frazier
Excellent lasagna…used both ricotta and cottage cheese…as well as oven ready noodles. Big hit with our family!
Christopher Jones
Super tasty and easy to make!!
Douglas Lane
I did add about 1 cup parmesan cheese. Even my picky eating son loved it!
Gary Booth
This was absolutely amazing. First time making lasagna and we were not disappointed. Of course I seasoned the ground beef and spaghetti sauce to my own personal preference (Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, etc) but then just followed the rest of the recipe. It was great! Oh also one more thing though. The egg really is necessary to bind together. But other than that, great!
Christine Turner
Really great basic receipe. I read some reviews and made a few adjustments. I used the suggestion to use hot tap water to prep the noodles which works great! I only had ground pork sausage at home but it was still tasty. I used mozzarella, provolone, and ricotta cheese (added eggs to the ricotta to hold together) to build the lasagna. Lastly I added some some veggies to the meat sauce so we could get some nutrients in. I love to follow this basic receipe and its fun to make adjustments based on what you have!

First of all, for the reviewers saying that the lasagna doesn’t have enough flavor, well, this recipe is easily tweaked. I used a half-and-half mix of ricotta and cottage cheeses. Into that, I mixed a generous sprinkling of Italian seasoning, ground sage and fennel, and dried savory. To the beef mixture, I added garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, and a touch of cayenne pepper (as I couldn’t find my crushed red pepper). When I assembled it, I split up a 19-ounce package of browned, sliced mild Italian sausage links to sprinkle on top of the beef mixture, and then I added twelve Provolone slices between the first and second layers, and then again on top (underneath the mozzarella cheese—six slices per layer). I also used about 3/4 pound of shredded mozzarella instead of 1/2 pound called for. Optional: serve with jarred or fresh grated Parmesan on top. Everything else about the recipe I followed to a T. Oh, and even though it says to use half a pound of lasagna noodles, I count out nine whole noodles (about the same amount) to make sure I have three for each layer to fill the pan. So rich and filling!
Sandra Griffith
Very easy and tasty recipe. I used fresh pasta sheets and mixed large curs cottage cheese with ricotta. Done.
Brent Rivas
I used White and Red onions. I also added Italian Sausage as well as Ground Beef. The only spice I added was Celery Salt. My tomato sauce was my own that I canned from last season’s garden tomatoes.
Robert Rowland
Great lasagna recipe with lots of flavor
Jamie Wilson
Easy, tasty recipe. I added Italian seasoning, oregano and some red pepper flakes to my sauce.
Tyler Lawrence
Swapped cottage cheese with Ricotta and 1 egg. Super easy, fast and good!!
