    This is a great recipe. Even my picky children ate this. I will be making it again, however under my husband's suggestion I'm going to substitute some cottage cheese for some of the parmesan. He seems to think that will make it into lasagna. - 8/18/07

    I love this recipe and it's great as leftovers for the next day. BUT you have to be prepared and plan ahead because it does have to bake for 1 hour. - 3/23/07
