This was and excellent and easy recipe! Thank you! This was my first time making lasagna with zucchini, and my family LOVED it! In fact, they ate the ENTIRE PAN! I made very slight changes to the recipe, not because it needed it, but because I was trying to use up some ingredients. I double the cottage cheese mixture ( 1 cup cottage cheese / 1 egg per layer) and poured the rest of my can of sauce (it was a big can lol) over the top. Also, my zucchini was a couple of big ones, so i took out the seeds as i was slicing it. Thanks again for the great recipe!
