yummy homemade lasagna
(1 rating)
This is the best lasagna I have ever made! I was out of ricotta cheese one day (I've never been a fan of ricotta anyways) but I had some cottage cheese in the fridge so decided to substitute that for the ricotta. Oh my that was the best decision I could have made. This recipe has gotten me so many compliments and I've been told it's the best they have ever had as well. I've finally decided to share this so I really hope you all love it and enjoy it as much as my family and I do. :)
