Italian White Lasagna

This is an awesome meal! I'm picky about my pasta, but this is just absolutely great. The unique cheese sauce just absolutely made this great! I used heavy cream instead of light cream, because it was all I had on hand. The gouda cheese I had was in slices, so I cut the slices into smaller sections before I tossed them into the sauce. I wasn't able to find "cream-style" cottage cheese, so I just used small curd. Also, not quite sure which size "carton" would be recommended, so I used 1/2 of the one I had. Also, the mozzarella slices I put on top of the dish made it more difficult to cut through come dinner time. I think next time I"ll use shredded mozzarella. I needed to cover mine with foil towards the end, also, for fear it'd burn. Really and truly, this is an awesome meal! Thanks for sharing it! :)

I changed out sauteed shrimp for the ground beef, and added mushrooms in with the onions. I also added lemon to the cream and cream cheese I pureed the cottage cheese and egg, to make it pourable, and added parsley. I used Cheddar and Gruyere cheeses. We loved it! Thank you for sharing!

I really enjoyed this recipe.. very rich delicious sauce. Next time I won't be making this in lasagne form. I will use penne. My main reasoning for that is just personal taste. I thought it would have been better with out the mozzerella and cottage cheese, just the sauce cooked on the stove. My main veggie was Mushrooms. I think mushrooms and white wine go great together so that was my reasoning for that.

I made a variation on this recipe to use ingredients I had on hand and was very, very pleased with the results. Instead of celery and onion, I used fresh spinach that I chopped finely in the food processor. I used havarti instead of gouda and grated swiss instead of mozzarella. I had ricotta so I used that instead of the cottage cheese. I was also lazy and used oven ready lasagna noodles. A bit more oregano, lots of garlic, a touch of pepper... Even with all these changes, it turned out just great! What a wonderful change from the regular lasagna!

Awesome! I ladled some red sauce on each serving. My guests said it was the best they've ever had! Thanks much!

This was AMAZING!! It's so different from any other lasagna and definitely restaurant quality. I'm a new wife and a not so experienced chef and it truly wasn't hard to make either!

OOOOMMMMMGGGGGG This was amazing! We love lasagna, and this was a great change! I used small curd cottage cheese, and heavy cream, and sausage rather than beef and it was amazing! Next time I'm thinking about trying it with chicken and penne noodles. YUMMY!!! Thanks so much!

We really liked the sauce in this recipe! I used Italian mild sausage, but I wish I would have used chicken, I just think that chicken would have worked better for this kind of sauce. You also may want to cover with foil and then uncover the last 10 minutes so the mozzarella dosen't burn, mine had a few burnt spots.( I only left it in the oven for 30min on the 2nd shelf.) Thanks for this unique recipe, we really enjoyed it!

This is a delicious recipe for Lasagna. I made it as stated. It has a great flavor and the gouda is what adds the most. Didn't take long to make and have leftovers for later this week. Do try this delicious lasagna.

We loved this. Good creamy sauce and very versatile. I used shredded chicken instead of the beef, and made the sauce over penne pasta. I also added fresh broccoli to the onion/celery. I used gouda and cheddar, but only 1/2 cup of each and omitted the mozzarella since I didn't bake it. yummy sauce. Next time I might make it into lasagna!!

We made this using penne pasta, ground beef/sausage combination, and omitted the cottage cheese/egg mixture. We also added some diced carrots. If you have lots of leftover cheeses in the fridge, it's a great way to use them up. This recipe is packed with flavor!

Definately a keeper - this was a wonderful recipe. I used shredded chicken instead of the beef, and added in some chopped portabella mushrooms in place of the celery. I didn't have gouda, but used 1/2 C. parmesan/romano blend instead. I used the cheddar and shredded mozz instead of slices. It turned out wonderful, with a great flavor. This recipe went directly into my 'favorites' book. Thanks!

I made this with ground beef and a little ground pork. I used pre-shredded cheeses,the gouda and followed recipe otherwise. Very creamy and rich, Mmmmm it was good. Next time I'll try it without meat and instead some shredded veggies and sliced black olives. Great recipe, with many options. Glad I tried it.

I made this recipe for my daughters going away to college dinner, and it was a big hit! I loved the flavors of all the cheeses and the addition of wine in the recipe. This is one recipe I will be adding to my favorites Sharon. Thank you!

I made this for my daughter's baptism and forgot to review it. I offered it as an alternative to traditional lasagna. There were no leftovers (I barely got a taste). I substituted Ricotta for the cottage cheese and used shredded Mozzarella in place of the slices. This is a keeper.

Wow. My husband doesn't care for red sauce too much so I tried this and he proclaimed that it's the best lasagna he's ever tasted. I followed the recipe almost to a T. Except when I browned the beef I seasoned it with salt and pepper and added some finely chopped fresh spinach to the brown beef mixture (after the mixture is cooked, since it will cook more in the oven). The only other thing I did differently was adding a thin layer (about a cup) of my own red sauce from earlier this week to try to boost the veggie factor in this recipe, since my red sauce has carrots, bell peppers, celery, mushrooms.

Oh gosh this is is SO delicious, it's very rich and filling, I used half ground pork and half ground beef, used 1 medium onion, and 2 tablespoons fresh minced garlic in the beef/pork mixture beef and adjusted the herb amounts also... I made this as a take-home meal for my DS who is a lasagna and pasta-lover, he really loved this dish Sharon, thanks for posting another winner hon!...Kitz:)

Oh man was this a hit. I used fresh herbs, heavy cream, and Fontina instead of Gouda but that was the only changes. I wasn't sure of what size pan and ended up using a deep dish 9X9 casserole pan. I used no bake lasagna noodles and cut them to fit with my kitchen shears. You know what? It worked pretty well! Better than just breaking them to fit! Really nice change from the usual. My kids took what little was left home with them. Will make again. Thanks Sharon123!
