Excellent recipe; the cottage cheese and zucchini gives this lasagna a distinct flavor.

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!
