I'm trying to decide between cottage cheese and ricotta for my lasagna. Which one do you think works better? I've heard mixed opinions, and I want to make sure my lasagna turns out delicious. Any insights or personal preferences? 🍝🧀
 
Both cottage cheese and ricotta can work well in lasagna, but they offer different textures and flavors. Ricotta is creamier and gives a richer, smoother texture, which many prefer for a classic lasagna. Cottage cheese is lighter and has a bit more texture, so it’s a great option if you're looking for a slightly healthier or less heavy dish. If you want a balance, you can even mix the two! It really comes down to personal preference and the type of lasagna you’re aiming for. 🍝🧀
 
Hi. I use both; cottage cheese is healthier and ricotta is creamier, so you get the best of both worlds by using both of these cheeses in your lasagna. ☺️☺️
