    Very Good
    I thought this was very good. I added basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary and garlic to the cottage cheese mixture since it already felt like I was making a lasagna.. I also used some graded Parmesan during the final baking stage.. - 9/12/09

    way too much pasta, for my taste. i added a lot of parmesan cheese to compensate for it being really bland. still really good; will definitely make again but cut the pasta amount in half. - 4/6/09

    Incredible!
    I LOVE this dish!!! I live alone, so when I make a dish this size I share. Everyone I've shared this with love it too. Simple to make and I can eat it by itself for a complete meal. - 11/21/08
