smoothie made with spinach. I think this is a really simple method to consume a lot of fruit and vegetable servings.

Good but somewhat soupy
When I saw the cottage cheese in this recipe, I wasn’t sure if I’d like it. Actually, I found it much better than using ricotta cheese. It is an easy recipe and VERY GOOD!!!
I haven’t made lasagna in a long time. I will layer the lasagna with the noodles first for the next time so I can have more sauce on top. It was good.
My family loved it! I used ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese and added zucchini
It was so easy and my whole family loved it. Even my 6 yr old grandson ,who doesn’t like anything !,,
My family LOVED IT!!! I did substitute dried parsley for fresh. But’ THIS recipe was fun an delicious. When we’d ate all we could eat, I sliced rest into squares and froze them, for quick meals ANY TIME.
I love it and so does my sweetie! I pared it down for 2 people & allowing for leftovers. I used a combination of 1/2 ground beef & 1/2 sweet sausage. Otherwise, stuck to your recipe.
Wonderful. Tweaks were Italian sausage instead of hamburger and 2 cans if diced tomatoes between layers.
Delicious! Added hamb and Italian sausage, used 48 oz of Veggie Primavera, added Italian seasoning and minced garlic. A real crowd pleaser!
Wonderful lasagna! I added garlic and Italian seasoning and extra mozzarella and parmasan cheese, we love cheese,mmmm yum!
my first time ever making lasagna, followed recipe exactly, everyone loved it.
Would make again based on how easy it is though it’s not as amazing as Linda’s Lasagna. I used Rao’s marinara which is very oily. I don’t think the water was needed. I ended up with a lot of extra liquid. I used jovial gluten free lasagna and did not pre-cook.
I boiled the lasagna noodles for about 8 minutes, added mozz provalone Parm cottage cheese and ricotta all together, browned the hamburger added ragu to the meat. Added the meat to the pan, added the noodles then the cheeses, continued until finished. Baked it about 45 mins uncovered it and went another 10. It came out great. I didn’t measure the ingredients. it was my 1st lasagna. I left out the water.
I found this recipe a year ago and it is a hit every time I make it. if you Follow the recipe then you will feel like a gourmet chef.
My fiancé was wanting it . I usually use ricotta cheese but two stores I went to didn’t have it so found this recipe used cottage cheese. I did add Italian sausage (johnsonville) and doubled the meat *(the man loves his meat). I added more cheese and another egg and it was quick and easy. I used oven ready noodles so I did bake it a little longer (40). He loved it and said it was the best I’ve made. So thank you for the recioe!!!
No it was good
I tweaked the recipe a bit. Used two pounds of meat, more pasta sauce, cut out the water, added diced onion and seasonings (garlic powder, salt, pepper) while browning the meat. Also added minced garlic to the cheese mixture. I used more than 9 noodles (probably more like 12). Since I added extra stuff, I baked for about 45 min covered and 15 uncovered, and then let sit for another 10-15. Delicious! Might try shredded parm next time for even more of a melty cheese kick. I overflowed my casserole dish, but the lasagna came out great!
Used shredded parmesan and ricotta
It was amazing, I made for my family for Christmas dinner..I added a little extra cheese and added mushrooms.
Made and used regular noodles, Xtra sauce Love Saucy, Spicy Italian Sausage and lil Xtra Park with some Cayenne sprinkled in; Came out FAB! And I’m No Cook! Hate cooking more into baking, but this was so simple had to try. Now a must have for Fam that Love it. Glad I actually tried it a real Win:)
Amazing recipe! Loved the simplicity; was able to use gluten free Barilla noodles and lactose free cottage cheese to suit our dietary needs. Superb!
