This is the best lasagna I have made, and I have tried a lot of recipes. Some changes I made were using two cloves of fresh minced garlic, in place of the garlic powder. Instead of a small can of crushed tomatoes, I used a large 28 oz can. I also add one teaspoon of dried basil to the sauce while it is simmering.

Excellent, easy recipe! I didn't bother with mixing the cottage cheese, parm cheese, and egg in a processer or with a blender and it still came out great! I do like the idea of skipping the simmer part and just using 1 cup less of water. I might try that next time so the recipe takes less time.

This recipe diverted from what my boyfriend is used to in a Lasagna. But when he tasted it, after I told him this is the first home made lasagna I have made, he went "Wow," and I tried it and went "Whoa." Very easy to make, especially when time can be an issue and it lasted us a whole week of lunches for the 2 of us. Thanks for a GREAT recipe.

I've made hundreds of lasagnas all from different recipes because I have never found a recipe that I wanted to make twice. They usually end up with that acidic taste you get from using jarred sauce. An Italian chef told me that only meat, onion, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, water, and some dried herbs should be used for a traditional meat sauce. So I came across this recipe which met this advice. I would say this recipe is very close to a 5*. I think all it needs is a little more taste. This might be achieved by following Meg Champagne's advice, which is to cook the lasagna the night before and then, on the day of, covering with mozza and cooking another 15 min. I also followed Andrea F's advice and used a hand blender on the cottage cheese mixture to get it to the same consistency as ricotta. Definitely do this because cottage cheese tastes better (and is cheaper) but the consistency of ricotta is better for lasagna.

Vey very good! Tasty! I think I'll cut the recipe in half next time though. It made way too much for me, my husband and our 2 toddlers.

I LOVED this lasagna, I rate things at my house on a scale of 1-10 and I gave it an 8.5 (which is very, very high) my husband gave it a 7--he said it needed something. I loved the subtle taste. It was wonderful. I did use ricotta cheese this time, since I am not a huge fan of cottage but I am going to make it with cottage cheese next time. This is going in my recipe book. :)

I am very new to making lasagna, but after making this one I have found my recipe. I used cottage chees like the recipe says, and it was delicious! My famil loved it. Sometimes I use a half burger and half italian sausage to spice it up a bit, and am a huge garlic user, so more is added. I always make a double batch and freeze one, and I think the second one is always better. This is a keeper.

I am not a huge lasagna fan, but my husband enjoyed this recipe. I did not have crushed tomatoes, so I substituted in tomato sauce. I also blended the cottage cheese, egg, and parmesan in the food processor like some other reviews mentioned. It was good, but I am sure there are better recipes out there.

Sooooo flavorful! The absolute BEST lasagna I've ever had, by far. And pretty easy to make. I skipped the 'simmer for 1 hr' of the beef/onions/sauce and only used 1c of water instead of 2c. Cut my time in half almost - it took only about an 1 hr 15 min from start to finish. Definitely will make again and again!

This lasagna was really good. I liked the cottage cheese way better than the ricotta and it didnt even taste like cottage cheese, no one knew the difference. The only thing that i would mention is that i think it needed more sauce. so next time i will make more sauce, other that that fantastic! and im still giving it five starts because i couldnt stop eating and thinking about it.
