Seriously you are an underrated cook …I must say- this is quite the most delicious treat I had in decades…but oh mag gaw man… took a lil’ too while long to finish up *american noises* Up- I don’t have a picture cause’ mah camera is darn dam broken but if you could just give some more tutorials I’d love that! ( i am actually Chinese but this is just a impression 🙂 )
I followed the recipe as it was. My son really liked it so I will definitely make it again.
It came out amazingly!
great recipe. I followed the directions exactly and it tastes great. I will make this again.
SO DELICIOUS! I followed this recipe exactly and I was very pleased. The amount of sauce was good for my taste, although next time I would add more cheese. I didn’t have any foil to cover it while it baked so some edges got a little hard, but that’s okay. Cooked perfectly in 35 minutes. I added oregano leaves and basil to the top while it baked and it gave it a nice extra flavor. Really seems restaurant style and it’s amazing. I’ll be making this again!
Have made this several times. Four stars as written, because it doesn’t call for enough sauce. I am generally cooking for one, so I cut it in half and make in an 8×8 pan. If I add more sauce I give it a five! Last time I made it, I threw half a red bell pepper, and half an onion in the blender with the cottage cheese and sauce. Super good.
LOVE TO COOK IT FOR MY HUSBAND SUPPER OKAY.
This was delicious !! My child loved it and it was so fun to make together
New Family Favorite – Everyone wanted to take the leftovers!!!! Easy to make ahead so Mom can enjoy quality time, too.
just made this and it is good used regular lasagna noodles and used them bone dry. filled the spaghetti sauce can half full with water and mixed the water into the sauce to thin it out covered bottom of baking pan with some sauce put dry regular lasagna noodles on top continued to layer according to recipe ending with sauce covered with foil and baked at 350 for twice the length of time called for in the recipe 1 1/2 hrs removed foil topped with shredded cheese baked uncovered til cheese on top was melted and the lasagna noodles cooked perfectly no need to even soak in hot tap water first!!!
Awesome and super easy. I did the no boil lasagna noodles, used two jars of sauce and subbed ricotta cheese for the cottage cheese. Loved the mix of the cheeses as well. My family really enjoyed it and it was so simple to throw together. Now we can have lasagna on a week night.
Family loved it. Was so easy. I didn’t even have to go to the store to get anything, I already had everything for it in the cupboards. I only had a jar of sauce so I added a can of diced tomatoes with juice into it. Very yummy!
Quick, easy, and inexpensive. Just needed a little more flavor. Will add seasonings & garlic next time
As written, quite bland. Added all kinds of spices (garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, black pepper and italian seasoning.) The seasonings make this a 5 star recipe!!! VERY good!
I had over half of the noodles left over and like others have said, needs more sauce. It tasted excellent though and was really easy to make!
How could this be any less than 5 stars? Such a basic dish, but sooo cheesy and delicious. I didn’t mix the cottage cheese into the sauce–I put it between the layers. Yum!
Fabuloso!!!!! Excellent! Great! Nothing left, no leftovers, no happiness in Mudville.I did not mix sauce and cottage cheese together–like to see the sauce. My not so picky husband, except for lasagna recipes, was scraping the pan. Have to put this on my regular recipe rolodex and make again very soon. Thanks for the recipe!
Holy Freakin’ Yum! This is even more incredible the next day and doesn’t make a mess of your kitchen.
This was my first time making lasagna, but I found the recipe to be rather simple and the meal came out great. However, instead of cottage cheese, we used ricotta and added italian sausage and fresh mushrooms to the sauce. Feeding 3 grown men we doubled the ingredients, and it made plenty for 2 days worth of great meals.
I thought this tasted like melted cheese and not much else. It might be better if vegetables were added. Yet at the same time, I find myself wanting another helping.
A very good basic recipe that can be altered easily. In mine, I used no bake noodles. Then, I subbed cottage cheese for ricotta and pepper jack cheese for parmesan. I mixed the ricotta with Ragu roasted onion spaghetti sauce (instead of plain tomato), then I mixed in some fresh garlic, Italian seasonings, black pepper and sea salt and some paprika into the sauce. Super tasty and cheesy!
