Variations & swaps
Substitutions:
- Sub the cottage cheese for ricotta.
- Use no-boil lasagna noodles instead of regular – cook for less time!
- Use different flavored tomato sauce. I like a four-cheese pasta sauce, but your favorite sauce will make this lasagna your own! If you don’t have pasta sauce, some diced tomatoes, extra garlic, and some seasoning will work just as well. Just be sure to match the volume of liquid (since the noodles will literally cook in the sauce)
- If I have Italian sausage, I might use half ground beef, half sausage.
- If you like a little heat, some red pepper flakes are a lovely addition (add them with the Italian Seasoning)
