Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make Ahead

Lasagna can be assembled ahead of time. Cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, uncover and bake as directed.

Shortcut

Substitute no-boil lasagna noodles for the cooked lasagna noodles. Assemble lasagna as directed; cover with foil and bake at 350°F for 45 min. Uncover; bake 15 min. or until heated through.

Classic Lasagna with Meat

Cook 1/2 lb. each Italian sausage, with casing removed and ground beef until cooked through; drain. Assemble lasagna as directed, adding a layer of 1/3 of the meat mixture after each layer of the ricotta cheese mixture.

Does anyone know if cottage cheese can be substituted for the ricotta?

Very easy and very tasty. I added ground turkey and some of my own seasonings like adobo and Italian, but this was exactly the kind of lasagna recipe I was looking for.
