I have made this twice. Used elbow macaroni once instead of spaghetti. It's like a spaghetti Lasagna and it's really good! My 5 year old loved it!

Just sitting doing a taste test after making this ~ my family is gonna love me tonight. With some Caesar salad ..... oh yeah! I used all the 'light' items listed under "variations" and it is still fabulous. I would boil the ww spaghetti a bit longer next time though. Perfect!

I have very picky kids and this has been a hit every time. I love how easy it is to make and tastes even better the next day.

I've made this a couple times now and it's been a hit every time. I've had to make a few changes in the past (no cottage cheese, etc in which case I just used regular cheese) and it's been delicious every time.

I'm not a fan of Spaghetti and I love this recipe. It has gotten rave reviews from everyone I've ever made it for.

Love this recipe! I added frozen spinach and ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. Easy to make, great flavours, you can change it up by using different pasta sauces.

Love making this for dinner, its easy to make and loved by all! Served it to 12 family members last night and once again it was a hit with all (including the kids ranging in age of 2-14).I made a smaller (8x8) one and will try freezing it for a quick meal.
