My boyfriend made this last night and said it was dang easy. Wasn't runny and was tasty!!! He did use regular lasagna noodles and cooked them first. Also used 2c ricotta and 2c cottage cheese. I put a little extra pasta sauce on mine. Next time we will double the meat, what can i say we are very carnivorous!! Thanks for the great recipe!!
