This recipe is so good! I know, I know I always say that about all my recipes, but this one is so different! This is like lasagna except not so labor intensive. Why you ask? Well I use those little egg noodles instead of the lasagna noodles.
Most of you who know me know that I am not a fan of cottage cheese. I think it is a texture thing. I processed it in the food processor and it had more of a consistency of Ricotta. The best thing about this recipe is that you can double it and freeze one for later.
Stares off into space dreamily……
You know, in a couple of months when you are stretched on time and need something hearty to feed the masses.
Better yet, if you have relatives visiting and need to feed an army you could freeze a few batches of this stuff and no one would be the wiser. When you need it just pull it from the freezer a day or two before you want to bake it. Some garlic bread and salad would round this meal out. What more could you ask for?
