Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make it Easy

Spray foil with cooking spray before using to cover casserole. Place, sprayed-side down, on casserole to prevent sticking.

Make Ahead

Assemble recipe as directed. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake, covered, at 400°F for 35 min. or until heated through.

Freeze Ahead

Reserve 1/2 cup of the mozzarella. Assemble recipe as directed, but do not top with the reserved mozzarella. Wrap casserole in foil; freeze. When ready to serve, heat oven to 400°F. Unwrap casserole; cover with foil. Bake 55 min. or until heated through, removing foil after 30 min. Top with reserved mozzarella; bake 2 min. or until melted.

delicious. I also mixed in some Ricotta cheese to give it some extra flavor.

Fantastic, I used 1/2-3/4 of a bunch of fresh spinach. As well as used ricotta cheese in with the cottage cheese. My family LOVED it. My husband kept asking all thru the meal "what is this call? You have to make it again"

I reduce the amount of spinach and used canned to save some time. The family loves it!

My husband and I both really liked it! :) The only thing though is that he doesn't like tomatoes, and I really thought I could sneak this one in without him telling...yeah no lol. He still liked it but requested that next time I just use more sauce and leave out the tomato :)

So good, and so easy! Doubled the recipe; we devoured half, while the rest was split between two aluminum pans and frozen. My son will be home from school next week, and I'm sending those back with him. Food is his favorite gift, especially when it's homemade and ready to pop in the oven! Thanks for the recipe!

I've made this a couple of times. The first time I wasn't so sure about making it because it contains cottage cheese. I had never tried it before. This is a yummy and filling recipe and has become one of my husbands favorites.

My husband and I loved this. I am going to make it at least 5 more times before we leave for New England in our camper in the fall. I also plan to make it while we are gone. I love my Kraft web site. Thanks Kraft.

This was really good and easy. I did add some Italien sausage in it but it would've been good without it too
