Ricotta is just a different cheese and the other cheeses taste fine too.
Okay, so you don't like it but it's still heresy using cottage cheese in lasagne to me. Each to his own.

I get the tradition...
ANd I have access to some of the best cheeses in the world...I live in an area renown for Dairies and cheeses...
My philosophy is this:
It was "tradition" to scramble eggs with cheddar....
One day I tried dill havarti...HOLY SHIT that was good
Mac ANd cheese normally cheddar as well with a bechamel type sauce....
One day...I tried SMOKED GOUDA
O M G
I just believe in tradition to a POINT and I started thinking....hey...ricotta is kind of MEH as a cheese and there are so many other options.....
SO for me I find a really fresh large curd cottage cheese with salt and pepper tatses pretty darn good, better (to me) than ricotta........so I tired it...
I like it better...besides.....
Heres the thing...the recipe I gave was supposed to be an EASY recipe for kids and wifey
hence why I mentioned no-boil noodles.
NO WHERE did I say it was the best or
most authentic. My kid loves cottage cheese and we keep it in the house 24/7. We dont normally have ricotta.
I was merely suggesting an easy recipe, that also tatses good. Imo , Id rather use shredded pizza cheeze and jack than ricotta.
But w/e.
I was only trying to give whoever that was a VERY easy recipe involving common items around the house.
