If you prefer your lasagna with meat add 1/2 lb. ground meat or for a veggie version how about breaded/fried eggplant.  Either option is a winner.

Five stars for an idea that should have seemed so obvious. I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll ever go back to making regular lasagna again. This is just so simple, and it uses cottage cheese, which I much prefer over ricotta.

I&#039;ll rate this recipe as a 5 for the idea.  I added beef, basil, oregano, parsley, garlic and onion powder to give it some flavour. It was really good.

We were in a hurry so I doubled this recipe for my family.  They missed the meat and I didn&#039;t bake it; I just heated it all up.  I think if I hadn&#039;t called it lasagna, they would have liked it better.

We love this small size lasagna that's quick and easy to throw together and makes just enough for the two of us.  Using curly wide egg noodles and my leftover homemade marinara sauce give this all the taste of traditional lasagna without all the work of making a large pan and having enough leftovers to feed an army.  For a more traditional flavor, I use ricotta instead of cottage cheese and bake everything in one casserole dish instead of dividing it between two small ones.

My husband and I thought this was pretty good, but didn't think it tasted much like lasagna.  It was tasty though!  Cheesy and saucy!  I used a chunky garden-style pasta sauce to give the dish some vegetables.  I doubled the recipe so we could have leftovers and it just fit my 1.5 qt baking dish.  While this probably wouldn't be my first choice, I'd still make this again.  I'd likely improve it further by adding fresh veggies, like chopped bell pepper, onion, garlic... maybe even some meatballs.

I was in the mood for lasagna but didn&#39;t have the noodles on hand so I followed this recipe using macaroni (the kids enjoy that more anyway!), and some ground beef I had already fried up in the fridge. I made it as a large casserole so it could feed the whole family (doubled the recipe). Served with garlic toast. Delicious!

I&#39;ve made this recipe for my family since it was first published in TOH.  So much easier than going to all the work of making traditional lasagna &amp; nearly as tasty.  I have to quadruple the recipe to feed everyone.  I use 16 oz. of shredded mozzarella because we like the extra cheese.  Otherwise, I follow the recipe exactly.  Very good &amp; quick!

Actually, I&#39;d prepared this recipe back when it was featured in Taste of Home!I used 1-1/2 cup spaghetti sauce and layered the noodles, sauce and cheeses as one would for regular lasagna.  I used one small casserole and I&#39;d baked the casserole for 45 minutes at 375o F. I&#39;d found this to be a very tasty dish to prepare!  Thank you, Carol Mead, for this recipe!  It is a keeper and it does take much less time than preparing a regular lasagna! DELowenstein
