This is my "New Baby" recipe I use. All of my friends get a big tin pan of this recipe to feed the family for a good week when a new baby arrives. I've made it at least 6 times and everybody LOVES it. Only subs for me are using fresh mushrooms and a jar of Trader Joe's Tomato Basil Marinara and a small can of diced tomatoes instead of the canned tomato sauce. FANTASTIC!

Great turned out perfect both times. Once w/ spinach one w/o because I didn't have any. I haven't added the mushrooms yet but will someday. Thank you for making my first Lasagna a success! My 2 year old have 3rds both times.

This turned out excellent! I added 8 oz pepperoni/italian sausage so I increased the cottage cheese & tomato sauce (marinara) abit. In the past I've found the dry noodles don't work for me so I par-boiled them 2 mins & cut the recipe water back by 1/4 c. I sub'd steamed kale for some spinach & garlic powder for the salt. I added some chopped artichoke & italian seasoning for personal tastes. Used 12 noodles & it worked beautifully with lots of flavour. Thanks for sharing.

In a word, EXCELLENT !!!! The spinach really makes it. I used a third beef, a third pork and, a third ground turkey. A little extra sauce makes the pasta incredable.

Thanks for posting this. This is my wife's favorite lasagna recipe. And yes, it does freeze really well too.
