     I thought I would miss the 2 cups of gooey mozzarella that I usually use to make lasagna but this was great with only 1/2 cup. This will be the lasagna recipe I will use from now on! - 9/23/09

     I love this Lasagna I have made it three times for my husband and he loves it!! You forget it is good for you. I make a little more sauce then it asks for because you will run out on the last layer. - 9/29/08

     THis is a fantastic recipe! Lasagna was SOOOO good!!! I used whole wheat noodles and they tasted exactly like regular noodles. I was afraid the low fat cottage cheese would make it taste healthy, but this lasagna was just like real lasagna. Very easy to make and absolutely delicious! - 9/25/08

     In the words of my husband... "So good for healthy lasagna!" I think it would have been better if i didn't run out of sauce for the last layer. But this meal still satisfyed my nagging craving for ooey, gooey lasagna! - 8/11/08

     This is great! My fiance is a picky eater and he went back for thirds. When I make it again, I will make a little more sauce. - 7/25/08

     Very good and easy to make. The only lasagna I make now. Prefer to use the petite diced tomatos with Oregano and Basil though. - 7/20/08
