This is a great recipe for lasagne with cottage cheese. Why not share this recipe with your friends. I have found it to be a popular dish at high school functions. Even vegetarians (who eat eggs) love a hearty meal and it tastes fabulous too. If you are looking for a meal that is hearty and filling and is a perfect companion to a salad or two, then this is it.

Our whole family enjoyed this lasagne and even though it was filling there was plenty left to reheat the following day. It wasn’t as heavy on the stomach as the meat lasagnes can be.
