YUM! This is a great base recipe, easy to add to or change to your own tastes. I for one LOVE that this uses cottage cheese (I can't stand ricotta, I put my Italian heritage to shame ;) ). I kept the cheddar and cottage cheeses but instead of parmesan and mozzarella I used a blend of 6 white cheeses (the prepackaged preshredded kind, including parmesan, mozzarella, romano and a few others). I used a jar of chunky vegetable spaghetti sauce rather than plain tomato sauce, and hand mixed in the cottage cheese to keep the chunks of cheese and vegetables. I also added a layer of shredded carrot and bell peppers and sliced mushrooms. Came out kinda soupy, but I think that's mostly due to the fresh vegetables I put in. Would definitely make this again (in a larger pan next time :D )

This was delicious and super easy. Even my picky kids liked it. I did add extra sauce and an egg, and I did not cook the noodles before putting it all together. I also used ricotta instead of cottage cheese. Since you're not adding spices, a lot of the flavor comes from the sauce so pick a good one! Love the four cheese combination.

This was excellent but I made a LOT of changes, so here goes, I sauteed 3 cloves of garlic in some canola oil, then added one chopped onion and cooked it with the garlic, then I added about 300 grams of ground beef, once beef cooked I added some italian seasoning and salt and pepper. I beat the cottage cheese (which is delicious in this recipe, I was actually unsure as I had never used cottage cheese in lasagna and I like it better than Ricotta cheese now that I know what it tastes like in this dish!) with 26 oz of pasta sauce, added the sauce to the meat mixture, and added another 1/2 can of pasta sauce to the mix, brought it to a boil, then let it simmer for 20 minutes. I used the oven ready pasta as that's what I had, and it's so much easier than the other kind. I followed the recipes in terms of the layering the same as it suggested, I covered the pan with foil as the oven ready pasta needs more moisture, uncovered after 30 minutes, let it cook for another 15 then broiled the top for a minute or two. It was DIVINE!!! Will definitely make again and again!! Highly recommended - this way :)

My family loved this. I used more mozzarella cheese, but less cheddar cheese. I also used freshly shredded Parmesan cheese. It is easier to serve if you wait at least 5 minutes before cutting into squares.

This tastes very similar to what my mom used to make. Yes, it is a bit runny, but the taste and simplicity make up for not having perfect layers.

Are you kidding me?!?! A jar of sauce, some noodles and some cheese? Where are the spices?! Garlic, oregano, italian spices, anything!!!! for flavor! Flavor is EVERYTHING in lasagna and this, my friends, lacks EVERYTHING and ANYTHING for ANY flavor...not to be tried unless you are a level 0 cook that can only boil water or an egg.....A waste of time and money...

I read quite a few of the reviews before I made this and this is what I found: Everyone said that one can of sauce was not enough so I used almost 2 10 oz cans of sauce. The actual recipe only calls for one can but it's a 26 oz can that it called for which would have been plenty. Someone had said that one box of noodles was too much so I used about 3/4 a box and that wasn't quite enough, I wish I had used the whole thing. Instead, I got lasagna soup...the flavor was good but the measurements were way off. I also ended up using more cheese because I didn't feel like the recipe called for enough. Hope that helps.

This was great! I subbed ricotta for the cottage cheese and used 2 jars of sauce; and I received a ton of compliments. I'll definitely make it again.

This recipe was very good, and it was incredibly easy to prepare. Instead of using cottage cheese and possibly having runny results, I opted to use ricotta cheese. Also, as other reviewers have said, you need at least two jars of sauce for this recipe. One jar is not nearly enough for all of the layers. I also didn't use all of the noodles the recipe calls for. I probably only used a little over half. Other that the few tweaks I made, this recipe is amazing. Kudos to poster!

I had doubts about this because usually cheese, lasagna noodles and sauce don't hold up well, but this was not runny at all. This is a great basic lasagna that is really pretty good for what ingredients it has in it. It had a nice flavor and wasn't bland at all because I used a garlic flavored spaghetti sauce. This could be transformed into a nice veggie lasagna or a meaty lasagna if you want. I liked this served with a salad and it was cheap and easy. Perfect if you are cutting meat from your diet.

This recipe was okay. I did not use a blender to blend the cottage cheese, I used a hand blender while putting it in a bowl with the tomato sauce. This helped reduce dishes. However, because everything was very compact (just sauce and cheese) between layers of noodles I found that the noodles mushed together when keeping leftovers and became very compact. I don't think I will make this again.

I thought it was just okay. It came out very runny. I'm guessing it was the cottage cheese. The cheeses added nice flavor to the lasagna, but I still felt like it needed something.

It was very good. I am a vegetarian and my husband who loves meat ate almost half the pan. I did not think he would even like it. I kept telling him he was going to get sick. It's soo good though, "he says". About 1 hour later, he's sick from eating too much. HeHe. Thank you poster.

One of my husbands favorite dishes is lasagna, so I wanted to be sure to find the right one. I tried this one because it seemed rather popular and quick to fix...something that comes in handy when you dont have a lot of time. My husband tried this and LOVED it-he told me I better give this one 5 stars. Thanks for the recipe-the only change I made was I added more cheese.
