kraft kitchens tips

Easy Cleanup

Spray the foil with cooking spray before using to cover the lasagne to help prevent the foil from sticking to the melted cheese on the baked lasagne.

Very good recipe but tweaked it a bit: used half a brick of Philadelphia(taste was too strong), added an extra 0.5 cup of cottage. Omitted the tomatoes (bf hates chunk sauces) and did not use the parmesan cheese. Also added a layer of hard boiled egg (optional)

Delicious!! I only made few changes because I only had no bake noodles. I included the juice from the tomatoes and used ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. I am going to try that next time. Instant family favorite!!

The lasagne was very good but very rich. Everyone loved it. I will definitely make it again.

I made this lasagne. It was the first time I've made lasagne for over 20 years. I was a big hit and will make it again for sure.

I made this last night and must say that after making lasagne from scratch for years that this is excellent and easy. I doubled the Italiano cheese and didn't use Light. I also used no bake lasagne noodles. Bravo!

My son and myself liked it. My husband said next time to stick with my original lasagne recipe instead. Will try it again.

I made this for supper and used cheddar instead of mozza because it's what I had on hand, and added some fennel seed and basil as well. It was really tasty, even my 1-year-old enjoyed it!
