"This lasagna recipe doesn't have ricotta or cottage cheese. Its the recipe I always used after I was married. DH does like this recipe better so I pull it out every so often for him. It is a very good basic lasagna recipe. Its wonderful served with a green salad and garlic bread....yum."

This came out very nice. I've made a lot of lasagna but usually with a jar sauce. The sauce for this lasagna tasted so good. I didn't have any dried basil so I used 2 tablespoons of Italian seasoning. I also added 3 tablespoons of raw sugar. I put in two cheese layers made with 1 cup cottage, 1 cup ricotta, 1/2 cup parmesean cheese. I also didn't boil the noodles but added about 1/2 c boiling water, sealed the pan with foil then baked for 1 1/2 hour the next day This was the best lasagna I have ever made. Maybe even the best I've ever tasted! Anywhere! Thank you so much.
