I grew up with cottage cheese in lasagna because my mom made it that way.
She still is unmatched in the deliciousness of lasagna. She made it that
way to cut fat and calories by using low fat CC. Back in those days I don't
think you could by ricotta that was low(er) fat. That said, I do use
ricotta when I make it because it isn't often.
