No need to boil the lasagna noodles before layering the casserole. The extra liquid in the recipe provides moisture for the noodles.

Our son & daughters came over yesterday. Did not know what to fix for dinner. So I choose 6 recipies and let the girls choose. This is what they wanted. Did not have any ground beef defrosted, so used a 12 oz. pack of spinach. Used Ricotta instead of the cottage cheese. It turned out delicious, and looked beautiful. Served it with Pillsbury Garlic Butter Cresents.

Excellent Lasagna! We had this last night for our bible study group and it was a big hit. We made one change - lean ground turkey instead of beef, otherwise exactly as listed.

it was good the second time I made this because I didnt add the water,also I only put in 8 oz of cottage cheese and mixed the spinach into the cottage cheese mixture. Much Better this Way.. The recipe was too soupy and large to fit into a 9x13 pan it made a mess in my oven.
