    Add an egg to the cottage chesse mixture, it won't be runny. I always add them to regular lasagna. And don't cover with foil. - 1/2/09

    This is a great Zucchini Lasagna and it freezes well to. I chilled the lasagna overnight in the fridge and then cut it into (1) serving size square, wrapped in foil and popped them in the freezer. Thanks for sharing. - 3/24/09

    I followed the suggestions in the comments to use marinara sauce and add an egg to the cottage cheese. I also used carrots and zucchi8ni, very thinly sliced. I cooked it nearly twice as long as the recipe says to get the vegetables cooked through. - 3/16/09

    Very good, but as suggested by others I doubled the veggies and even added some eggplant and tomatoes. I also substituted the cottage cheese for fat-free cream cheese which made it all the better! - 7/7/08

    I liked this, but read other's comments and made a number of changes. I added a lightly beaten egg to the cottage cheese as well as some chopped spinach I defrosted. I doubled the zucchine added other veggies and crushed red pepper. I used a bottled marinara sauce not tomato sauce as suggested. - 1/15/09

    To eliminate the runnyness, another comment roasted the zucchini, then sliced and layered into the lasagna. That way, you don't have to add that egg to the cheese. I find that the cheese layers are much better without an added egg that makes them solid instead of soft and gooey! Tastes better too! - 3/30/11

    My husband and I both liked it; my kids did not. The zucchini was still crunchy and they wanted more sauce and cheese. - 1/12/09

    Added a box of frozen spinach (thawed and drained) and substituted diced, canned tomatoes for the tomato sauce. Very good --- if you don't expect the cheesy, gooey feel of a regular lasagna. I'd say it serves 8, not 6. I'll make it again! - 1/10/09

    With my fresh herbs, some great-tasting fat-free cottage cheese and a different cheese blend instead of boring old mozzarella, as well as the squash fresh from my grandpa's garden, this recipe turned out GREAT! We had lots of leftovers and I can't wait to make it again next month. - 7/17/08

    I made this as a baked pasta dish, all mixed together with whole wheat penne & riggatoni mix. Was very good that way too. I also used 1 can chopped tomatos and 1/2 cup tomato sauce. I like the spinach idea and will add that next time - 1/2/09

    Good, but my changes:
    Regular tomato sauce (with salt)
    Chop zucchini, double it up
    Double sauce mixture

    I would probably add spinach and fresh herbs next time

    Lasagna was very tasty, but I didn't feel like it called for enough sauce or the cheese mixture. I also had to double the zucchini because the first layer used it all. - 6/10/08

    A tasty lasagna, though the prep time is intense. I like that it uses cottage cheese and it didn't really affect the taste, though it was a bit runny. I couldn't find zucchini though and made it with yellow squash instead - 1/18/08

    I have made a similar lasagna but I use zucchini as the noodles and leave the pasta out. To reduce the wateriness, I slice the zucchini ahead of time, put it in a colander an salt it. The salt draws a lot of the water out. After letting it sit for maybe an hour, I rinse it, pat it dry, and proceed. - 6/28/11

    I was searching for a Zuchhini lasagne recipe here just a couple of days ago and could not find one! Thank You... this sounds so yummy! My local shoprite has a gourmet class to make this without any noodles but, using just Zucchini and egg plants in place of noodles. - 3/14/09

    I added spinach, diced tomatoes, and extra cheese. So good! However, I don't think the number of servings is correct. A 9x13 inch pan easily makes 12 servings, not 6. - 1/11/08

    I added a lot of red pepper flakes to this and also used oven-ready lasagna noodles and added some water so they would be moist enough. I thought it was really good, but if I made it again I would add more zucchini. I thought the portions were on the low-end of acceptably filling. - 1/6/08

    I thought this was a great recipe, and easy to make too. It has a rich flavor without being too fattening, unlike traditional lasagna recipes that use a lot of cream and cheese. I didn't have enough zucchini so I added some sliced carrots too. Will def. make this again! - 11/27/07
