Traditional Lasagna
My family first tasted this rich, homemade lasagna recipe at a friend's home on Christmas Eve. We were so impressed that it became our own holiday tradition as well. I also prepare it other times of the year. This classic lasagna recipe is requested often by my sister's Italian in-laws—I consider that the highest compliment! —Lorri Foockle, Granville, Illinois

I can't figure out how to leave a message for "Joan" who wanted to know if she could make this recipe with no-boil noodles. Yes, but you need to add more sauce to help them cook. I also would suggest trying "6 cheese lasagna" which is a recipe a little more authentic (ricotta instead of cottage cheese) and was created with No-Boil noodles in mind. A little hint - before baking cover your pan tightly with PLASTIC WRAP AND COVER THE PLASTIC WRAP WITH FOIL. Bake per the instructions and uncover for 10 minutes to set the top or not according to your preference. I hope this helps.

Can this be made with no boil lasagne noodles?
Edit to my last review : Change cans of sauce to Ro's SENSITIVE Jar sauce
Best lasagna ever! My family loves it ??
So a couple of things. 1. My family LOVES the meat sauce you make here so much, we use it like a marinara ALL THE TIME. 2. I have made this a couple times the only change is I use less cottage cheese. Example...total of ricotta and cottage cheese is about 4 cups so I do 2 of each...a better balance for us.

I spent two years in the Toscana region of Italy. The Italian snobs in here have no CLUE that this is actually BETTER than any lasagna to be found in Firenze (Florence), Bologna, or Milano (Milan). Cottage cheese? My first thought was ARE YOU KIDDING ME? But after trying it, I will concur that it is BETTER than ricotta alone. SALUD!
I finally got to make this recipe to the t and it is amazing! My little girl who doesn’t eat any kind of combined foods loves it and asked me to make some again tonight. Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe!
Best ever !
