For a richer flavor, consider adding a layer of ricotta cheese along with the cottage cheese. Fresh herbs such as basil, oregano, or parsley can be added to the meat sauce for extra flavor. Feel free to use different types of cheese, such as provolone or fontina, to customize the flavor profile. If using fresh lasagna noodles, reduce the initial baking time by 15-20 minutes. To prevent sticking, lightly grease the baking dish before assembling the lasagna.
