    Great recipe! Its a great alternative to lasagna, which is good for me because I'm such a pasta lover. Its a little gooey at first, but if you let it cool off a little first, it turns out great. We will add this to our dinner menu more often. Try using Jennie-O Italian Seasoned Turkey, its great! :) - 1/20/09

    This was really delicious. We ate leftovers for the next two days. I substituted ground turkey, egg whites and used a little less water than called for to keep it from getting too soupy. My boyfriend already wants me to make it again next week! - 2/2/09

    I made this with no-fat ricotta, added mushrooms and used more ground turkey than beef. It was great. Even better the second day. - 1/17/09

    Easy to make. I used Italian diced tomatoes so didn't need to use extra Italian seasonings. Used zucchini instead of noodles, so didn't add water. Decreased cottage cheese by 1/4 cup and used mozzarella instead. Used 6 cheese mix for parmesan. Would use tomato paste for sauce if using zucchini. - 11/25/08

    AWESOME! Made this last night. My hubby loves lasagna and he said he likes this version BETTER than the traditional kind. And it makes a true 6 servings, we both have great leftovers to look forward to! Thanks! - 1/21/09
