Used this recipe as a base with lots of changes - many noted by previous reviewers. Substituted ricotta for cottage cheese, but also added about 1/2 a cup of light cream cheese. Mixed cumin, salt, pepper, basil, oregano and parsley into the cheese mixture. Used a combination of sausage and hamburger. Added onions and green and red peppers with garlic pasta sauce, a large can of chopped tomatoes, a can of tomato paste, chopped garlic, fresh basil, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, and parsley. Layered a thin meat/tomato layer before the first noodle layer. Then added cheese mixture, thick meat/tomato layer, added shredded mozzarella, asiago and parmesan cheese, then another noodle layer, cheese layer, meat layer and more shredded cheese. It came out great - but due to all the changes, I just gave it 4 stars (it's a lot of modifications). Served with green salad and fresh bread. Excellent meal.

I make this all the time and I love it! It's so easy to make and doesn't take any time at all! Only thing I do differently is to use no boil lasagna noodles to cut down on the time. Love it!

Excellant - my boyfriend and my persnickety sister LOVE it! I don't boil the noodles - I used another tip and let them soak in hot water for 15 minutes. The noodles maintain a nicer texture.

Very good. Not saucy enough for me, but my husband liked it. I used ricotta instead of cottage cheese to make it creamier, which could be why it wasn't saucy enough. I also cooked the beef with garlic and chopped white onions. To the sauce I added cumin, garlic, kosher salt, oregano, and torn fresh basil. VERY GOOD flavor.

Really good recipe! I used "oven ready lasagna noodles" for mine though, you can find them at your local grocery store, you don't have to boil them it cuts out time and more dishes!

I was looking for a recipe close to Mom's, and so far this is the closest, although we prefer ricotta to cottage cheese. (I made the substitution when I tried this recipe, along with Barilla's no-boil lasanga noodles.) I've also used this as a base for veggie lasagna.

I didn't think it had much of a taste. Pretty bland. I won't make this gain.

Tastes great, pretty easy. I'm not a smart person, so the directions were a little bit vague on how to execute the layers - that's my only criticism. In the end, it doesn't really matter and it was good.

Very good recipe, but it seemed like it would be a bit bland for me. I altered it a little - I sauteed the meat (I used turkey) with red onions and garlic, and added a bit of oregano and chili-garlic sauce. I also combined the pasta sauce and meat layers. It came out very tasty!

This was my first attempt at a lasagna and it turned out incredible!! It was a little soupy but the taste was amazing. My hubby and I loved this lasagna and I will probably never try another recipe now that I have found this one.

My lasagna turned out a bit soupy the first time I tried. I'll cook a bit longer next time, but all in all..a good recipe! Thank you!

Not nearly enough sauce. I had only bought enough stuff to make what the recipe called for so I ended up using a jar of spaghetti sauce to fill in the rest.. also, i let it bake for about an hour with no boil noodles and the bottom noodles were still a little crunchy.. the cottage cheese mix worked out okay though

Good Lasagna! Im 17 and this was my first try at it. All I did different was add mushrooms into the sauce and cheese on top of it. Thanks for the great recipe.

I have a really good lasagna recipe that takes a long time to prepare, good for weekends when you don't mind cooking for hours, so I was looking for a good quick and easy recipe for weeknights, and I think this recipe is just as good! It was quick and easy and sooo delicious! The only thing I did differently was to use 1 lb. of hamburger and 1/2 lb. sausage, and I added the tomato sauce mixture to the meat mixture with 1 tsp. of italian seasoning and let it simmer for a few minutes. I also added a little parmesan to the cottage cheese mixture and covered the top with mozzarella. It was GREAT!

It's amazing! I'm constantly asked to make this lasagna! Although, I add a package of frozen spinach to the cottage cheese mixture (it's how my mother used to make it). Also, I only do one big layer of the cottage cheese mixture in the middle and two layers of the tomato mixture above and below. With this recipe I usually have to add more tomato sauce from the jar and top it off with a couple generous handfuls of grated mozzerella cheese

Delicious recipe and easy to make. I used other reviewer suggestions and used the no boil lasagna shells and this saved a lot of time. Will make again using cheddar and mozarella

This was definitely a quick and easy dish to make. Lasagna is usually so effort intense! I took the advice of others and added onion and garlic to the browning beef. I also added to the beef salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and basil. I added the same seasonings to the cottage cheese mixture (accidentally mixed the tomatoes into the cheese mixtures as well, but it turned out just fine - and very easy!) I also added shredded cheese to the very top during the last 10 minutes of baking. Despite all that it was still kinda bland. It was good and satisfying, but the flavor just wasn't there.
