My Mom used to make this cottage cheese lasagna for me when I was a kid and it's one of my favorite recipes to make for my own kids now. A few shortcuts make this lasagna recipe easier to make than most!
This simple, delicious cottage cheese lasagna will be just like the one your Mom used to make. While it’s not traditional to use cottage cheese, this lasagna recipe came about in the 1970s or 1980s when everyone was putting cottage cheese in everything – even lasagna.

This is a hearty, large, and in-charge lasagna! As a busy mom of three, my Mom believed in making a large meal once and benefiting from the leftovers. This lasagna is a solid 12 servings!
