    • Reviews

  • “My 7 year old ate 3 helpings!I think if I made it again I would add the egg and paremesan as suggested by another reviewer. I liked it but didn’t reach the category of “love”!A solid 4 stars! “

  • “This recipe is fantastic! It turned out perfectly and I will definitely use it again.”

  • “Ok.Hubby really liked it, but I wasn’t too big a fan.I felt like it was missing something.I think it would be absolutely fantastic with the addition of cream cheese to the cottage cheese/spinach part (I combined the two to make it spreadable along with an egg).I like a richer sauce and I think that that would taste amazing.I don’t think the chicken is necessary and I will omit the chicken and the chicken broth next time.Thanks for sharing.It’s a great base to start with.”

  • “Very tasty!I used 4 cloves of garlic and decreased the milk to only 1 cup and used “oven ready noodles.”Put it together one day, then cooked it the next.With all of my changes, it turned out wonderful!”

  • “our family loved this recipe.we tried to stay toward the fat free side of ingredients.we can be pretty hearty eaters but were able to get way more than 6 servings out of this recipe; something for those looking at nutrition facts.we also substituted french cut green beans for lack of the spinach.Thanx for the recipe Cheryl!”

  • “Yum! This tasted so good! It was creamy and the sauce had such a perfect flavor. This would be great to serve for a special occasion. I added an egg to the cottage cheese like other people suggested and it turned out good. Also, I think it would still taste great without the chicken if you needed to leave it out for vegetarians. I will definetely be making this one again, I just love it! I might even just make the sauce to pour over some pasta.”

  • “I was going to post this recipe, but saw that this one is exact to mine.I got this recipe off of a website a couple of years ago for OMAC (Once a Month Cooking).It’s a good freeze-ahead recipe.My whole family love this lasagna….something different.It has a nice creamy garlic flavor.A must try for all cooks!”

  • “This turned out very well but I made a few changes. I added an egg and about 1/2 cup parmesan cheese to the cottage cheese and did not have a “runny” problem. I doubled the basil and oregano, putting half in the sauce and the other half in the cottage cheese mixture. This made a hearty meal and I served with salad and bread. Thanks for the recipe.”

  • “This dish is absolutely delicious.My fussy 17 year old loved it.It’s lengthy preparation time is well worth the effort. Instead of adding the chicken, spinach and cottage cheese in layers, I mixed them all together in a bowl adding 1 egg to mixture.I will make this again very soon.”

  • “this turned out great! didnt change anything. yum!!!”

  • “VERY GOOD!It could have used more chicken though.Don’t be afraid to add more.”

  • “My family loved this recipe and it was very easy to make.It was a little bit runny, but no harm -we just scooped up the sauce and piled in on top of some freshly toasted garlic bread.Yummy!My finicky daughter wants me to serve the sauce with pasta all the time now!Tip – Add a beaten egg and fresh parmesan cheese the cottage cheese to help firm it up a bit.”

  • “easy to make and delicious”
