Both traditional lasagna and oven ready noodles work. However we prefer the traditional noodles. They cook up a little thicker and heartier. If you choose the oven ready noodles add a few extra noodles to the pan.
VARIATIONS:
If you are not a fan of cottage cheese you can always stir in ricotta cheese in its place.
