Cottage cheese instead of ricotta in lasagna?
Karen Newton
I think cottage cheese is cheaper, not sure.

Slighty different taste but I've never used ricotta in lasagna. Most
recipes say "either" will work.

I tried that, substituting low fat cottage cheese. I thought it
tasted fine, but maybe not quite as rich as the original recipe.

I actually prefer the texture of cottage cheese when I have lasagna.

The same size of ricotta was $2.99.
I bought three cottage cheese. Now I wonder if it freezes.

I'd spring for the ricotta. I like that delicate flavor vs. cottage
cheese, plus the finer texture. I figure it's still cheaper to build
your own lasagna rather than to eat out, deal wtih surly wait staff and
invariably have to hear a screaming kid at the next table.

dollars more for the best ingredients which certainly includes real
ricotta cheese (low fat or reg),also use homemade italian sausage
instead of ground beef...you won't regret it after all that work and
make enough so you can freeze the remainder if it survives :) It's one
dish we never cut corners on.

kind. Drain it. Ricotta (Regatta as they say) is the bomb but is more
$ and higher fat I think.
Still wondering why someone ever first made an oatmeal frittata.

frozen c.cheese.... might not be noticeable once cooked.

There are differences between the two and I don't think cottage cheese
will taste as good. I don't know your budget but if I am going through
the work to make a homemade item I would tend to use the tastier/better
ingredient(s).

lasagna noodles now.
They don't need to be boiled. So it really isn't much work to make a
lasagna.
It's in the oven now.

My Mom has always made lasagna with cottage cheese....I grew up never even
knowing that you 'could' put ricotta in it.

And don't forget to include leftover braciole shredded up and stirred
into your homemade sauce.....

I too, have always used cottage cheese, well drained. Place in food
processor with fresh basil leaves, to taste and a 1/2 cup grated
parmesan. Puree until smooth...and it does turn green but the flavor
is out of this world.
The Fine Art of Cooking involves personal choice.
Many preferences, ingredients, and procedures
may not be consistent with what you know to be true.
As with any recipe, you may find your personal
intervention will be necessary. Bon Appetit!

I have a recipe that's pretty easy for a quick meal. Uncooked noodles, a
carton of cottage cheese with a egg mixed in, meat sauce. and mozzarella
cheese. Put a little sauce with no meat on bottom of pan, lay noodles
length of pan, half the meat sauce, half the cottage cheese mixture,
uncooked noodles laid width of pan, rest of cottage cheese mixture and meat
sauce and top with mozzarella cheese. When its all together take a cup of
water and put it in on the side of pan while pulling it away with a fork.
Cover with tinfoil and cook for about 45 minutes and remove tinfoil and cook
for another 20 to 30 minutes, until mozzarella cheese is the way you like
it. It was quick and easy and could be made the night before so whoever got
home first could put it in the oven. I may have the layering mixed up but I
do remember you put the plain sauce on the bottom of the pan first and then
the noodles. I fixed it a lot in college and everyone loved it.

So did mine. Are you my sister?
I suppose you could put the cottage cheese in the blender to get rid of the
chunky texture.

Braciole is a cut of beef, commonly used in gravy (Tomato sauce)

fast I can't tell the difference.
I think lasagna is so good you could probably make it with wallpaper paste
and it would taste good.

So you have eaten at Olive Garden.

No - it's a rolled, herbed and garlicked skirt steak affair, cooked til
fork tender. Too bad Italian restaurants rarely offer this on their
menu.

I run cottage cheese with a little lemon juice and maybe parsley or
oregano through the blender. The curds are a dead giveaway.
JPL used to put large-curd cotage cheese in the cafeteria blue cheese
dressing -- apparently the lumps were convincing if you weren't paying
all that much attention.

That's a good idea. I'm going to try that.

I usually mix it with some minced garlic. But then, I'm of the
opinion that the only thing better than garlic is more garlic.

lasagna will be soupy. The flavors are different, too.

parmesan cheese, instead of ricotta. Someone could work out the cost of
that, it tastes mighty fine.
