How can you make a nice lasagna without cottage cheese? I suppose you can use ricotta but I don't think it's as good.

She does a layer of mozzarella on top that crisps up when you bake it. She's made it with ricotta before and it turns out good too. Maybe cottage cheese on lasagna is blasphemy but so is dipping pizza in ranch dressing or some of the other odd food trends in this day in age.

I was joking. I've had lots of lasagna with cottage cheese and it's pretty damn tasty. My great grandparents moved here from Sicily around the turn of the century and they have passed down the same recipe which always has ricotta. I guess nothing can compare to moms cooking! Another fantastic use for ricotta is Canolis. Add powdered sugar, mini chocolate chips, stuff it in the shell and garnish the ends with a maraschino cherry. Can you say YUM?!

Those of us who eat cottage cheese will soon become mindless zombie-like creatures who's only goal is to turn those who did not eat it into the creamy curds. In this post-apocalyptic world only Sorea will stand between us creatures of the cottage and the re-rise of humanity. With only a shotgun and his Harley, he'll roam the countryside hunting us... with only his sidekick MarvelVsCapcom2 to keep him company by asking if he prefers Brainy or Hefty Smurf.

We're talking about cottage cheese on a video game forum, I'm not taking anything seriously here Cannoli is delicious, plain and simple. It's actually one of my favorite desserts.

Unfortunately, it's pretty damn expensive!
