Quick and Easy Kid Friendly Recipe
Simple Family Lasagne Recipe
This is a variation on Tara's lasagne - it's a healthier version of lasagne because you replace much of the cheese filling with lowfat cottage cheese. I've added a little ketchup and some bacon to give the flavor a bounce.
I've also made this with my 6 year-old daughter. It's easy to make and a wonderful way to spend a half hour with your kid!
