Love this alternative to all the other skillet lasagnas that use jarred sauce. I used fire-roasted diced tomatoes but otherwise followed recipe exactly. Hubby gave it 5 stars...we will definitely be having this again. Thanks!

Very Good! I changed the recipe to match some of the ingredients I had on hand (i.e. Penne pasta instead of Rigatoni; no cottage cheese & didn't try to substitute). Also, I improvised a bit on some of the amounts. I added more garlic. It was a great meal, very simple, & I'll make it again. Thanks so much for posting the recipe.
