I thought the combinations of cheeses sounded odd but decided to try it. This is the best lasagna I have ever had. It was so creamy and flavorful. Instead of hamburger in the sauce I used mild Italian sausage which was excellent. Recommend this to anyone even if you're skeptical, try it.
too salty...

Paula is one of my favorite cooks, so I figured trying her lasagna recipe would be a hit. I love salty food, but this was over-the-top. I used italian sausage instead of ground beef, which didn't help the saltiness. I should have eliminated the three teaspoons of seasoned salt the recipe calls for (House seasoning & Seasoned Salt). It was so rich and salty that I could not finish my portion and neither could the rest of my family (except my 16 year old son, he'll eat anything that's put in front of him!). I would also eliminate the cream cheese - just too much. I woke up the next morning and my eyes looked liked two pinholes! No joke. I had to put preparation H on them to get the swelling down! Yes, Preparation H works for puffy eyes. I've used it for years. Just keep it OUT of your eyes! I will make this recipe again, but I won't add the salt until I've tasted the sauce first. Remember that cheese is salty too. Someone had mentioned that their lasagna was runny. This is what I do to keep my lasagna portions from looking like a big glob on my plate. Mix 2 tablespoons of flour to the cottage cheese mixure. I use flour instead of egg. I rated this a four because the lasagna is good, it just needs a bit tweaking to make it GREAT! Happy cooking!
Very good but make extra sauce

The first time I made this recipe I unfortunately did not take the advice of many of the reviews which stated that the recipe for sauce was not sufficient. My advice is to make a double batch of sauce and if there is some left over you can serve it on the side. I thought this recipe was very good. Like most lasagnas, in my opinion, eating this lasagna as warmed up leftovers was better than when it first came out of the oven. For those of you that prefer ricotta over cottage cheese (which is usually me as well), I made the recipe as stated with small curd cottage cheese (4%) and enjoyed it just as much.
Awesome!!!

Family loved the taste but was a little too runny and soft. I have never had lasagna fall down typicaly stays firm bit this was too watery. The sauce needs work. The cheese mixture was great and surprised.Next time will make my own sauce. Will make again for sure with a different sauce.
Simply the BEST (if i could give it 10 stars I would)

I never had Lasagna this good. I added 1 package of frozen spinach thawed and drained completely added to layers evenly and also 1 lb crumbled italian sausage, instead of ground beef, between layers.Everthing else was done as recipe says. I had a party and everyone wanted the recipe,it was simply the best i have ever made or tasted.
Very good!

I never thought to put swiss cheese and cream cheese in a lasagna, but it works beautifully. I added some italian sausage and mild country sausage to it and it was wonderful. I may play with this recipe to thicken it up a bit.
Delicious!

Lasagna doesn't have to be 'authentic' Italian to be good! Anyone every heard of "Mexican' lasagna? It too has layers of sauce and meat and cheese,it's not written anywhere that all lasagna has to be Italian.
Excellent!

I made this lasagna for an office party, and I did not add meat because we have a vegeterian in the office. The lasagna was such a hit! There were so many cheeses in it, you didn't miss the meat at all. Everyone wanted the recipe. This is a wonderful recipe, and if I want to make a dish that pleases everyone, I will make this one!!
Delicious!!

This was truly the best Lasagna I hav ever had. I did alter the recipe a bit and used Ricota cheese instead of the cottage cheese. My husband ate it for breakfast, lunch and dinner then breakfast again!! He couldn't get enough of it.

I have made this lasagna several times now and it is always a hit. I have heard best lasagna I have ever had more than once from my friends and family. The cheese can be expensive, but you can always substitute with what works for your budget.
Oh my gosh!!

This is the best lasagna ever. I was skeptical about cream cheese and cheddar cheese but it was great. This is a very rich dish. I use 1 lb ground round and 1/2 lb italian sausage. I am making this for the third time tonight and can't wait. The second time I made it I used ricotta cheese because that is what I have always used but it is much better withh cottage cheese. I mix my cream cheese and cottage together and it spreads easier. This freezes good too.
Paula's done it again!

This lasagna is different from the one I usually make. It doesn't contain the vegatables or cheese I usually use, but it is very good. It is also fairly easy to make compared to more traditional recipes for lasagna. The cream cheese makes it really rich and creamy! Prepared it for Father's Day and there is no question that I will be making it often.
Um, no

This was bad, very bad. An Italian would be ashamed to see cottage cheese going into a lasagne. And cream cheese? Paula, it is not right to call this dish lasagne, it is obviously confusing viewers who have never had a real lasagne. What was the Food Network thinking, allowing this?
Not bad!! :)

I have my own homemade lasagna recipe and decided to try this one. I was a little worrried that there might be too much cheese but I was wrong. I will be making this recipe from now on. One thing I did to make the cream cheese melt more was to put it out and let it come to room temperature. The cheese was soft and melted better.
Tasty tasty tasty

This lasagna is the best I have ever had! I have made it 2 times and everyone loves it. I am going to try making it with ground turkey this time instead of the ground beef to make it a little less fatty. It is very rich but, what lasagna isn't. If you are looking for something to please the crowd this is it.
This is the recipe that got me to actually register for FN.com

My boyfriend has been craving lasagna for a while and I finally picked a recipe to try out. It was a LOT of work (I would not call it easy, maybe intermediate) but VERY well worth it. When we had those first bites he was really impressed. Even though all I did was follow the recipe now he thinks I can cook. Hehe.
PERFECT RECIPE FOR LASAGNA!

This is an excellent recipe as is however I did substitute 1-1/2 lbs. of Italian sausage for the ground beef and omitted the "house" seasoning. This worked out perfectly with the right balance of salt and spice. Also, I used 'No Boil' lasagna noodles to save time and fuss. I didn't use the technique mentioned to thicken the sauce as these noodles apparently absorbed the excess liquid that some have complained about. I was able to serve my family picture perfect, delicious slices of lasagna. I should say that we are a family of six ranging in age from 9 to 52 and everyone loved it as we had no leftovers! THANKS PAULA!
With some tweaking, this is good lasagna!

The first time I made this, I followed the directions exactly (I did boil the sauce at the end to get rid of excess liquid). The lasagna was much too rich, and there was way too much meat, not enough sauce, WAY TOO MUCH CHEESE. And it turned out runny. However, it was much better the next day reheated, in fact, a coworker at work tried it, and she made it herself the next day. So I wanted to try it again, but changed a few things: used 3/4 lb Italian sausage instead of 1.5 lbs ground meat, omitted Gruyere cheese (not worth the expense, and there was too much cheese anyway), omitted cream cheese (made it too rich), used ricotta instead of cottage cheese (made the lasagna thicker instead of runny), and doubled the sauce, but boiled it the last 20 mins, plus boiled it with the sausage for another 20 mins. The results were AWESOME! I liked the sauce so much that I made more of the sauce another day (quadrupled it) and froze it in separate packages for pasta. Thanks Paula!
ABSOLUTELY DE-LISH!!!!

let me start from saying that my boyfirend is immigrant from central europe and american/italian kitchen does not attract him much. we have our own recipes that we stick to and rarely go wandering looking for adventures in the kitchen. when i decided i want to make lasagna, i didn't even tell him and went shopping by myself. when i started making this and told him it's gonna be lasagna tonight, he was walking around me saying "i dont like this, i dont want this" etc. he didn't even help me saying "i will not eat this". but when the sauce started boiling, he came back to kitchen to investigate if lasagna can smell so good. long story short, the final product that came out of the oven was mind blowing. we both ate hugest portions (good bye diets). Creamy, full of flavor, melts in your mouth! i am salivating just thinking about it. boyfriend asked me "how come you never made this earlier". and i wonder myself. i have missed years of my life without Paula's Lasagna, i can not forgive myself for not trying this earlier. once again, Paula brings the passion for cooking back into my kitchen. never once did i get disappointed with her food. way to go Paula. never mind those haters. :)
Really rich, delicious crowd pleaser!

This lasagna was really delicious! Gotta love Paula, she really knows how to make a hearty recipe! I used about 3/4 pound of Italian sausage and 3/4 pound of hamburger, instead of all hamburger. I also made half again as much of the sauce, as some other reviews suggested the recipe didn't make enough. The sauce however was too thin, and made the lasagna not hold together when sliced, so I would definately use her thickening tip next time. I really enjoyed the cream cheese in this recipe. I thought it a strange addition at first, but went with it and loved it. Also, I had never made lasagna with cottage cheese instead of ricotta, but it was really good as well. Overall excellent recipe! Great for company!
