NKZ's Zesty Lasagna

This take on lasagna is ultra easy, low in fat, calories, and is easy to pop in the oven for future meals! It is also delicious without meat and takes less time in the oven than most. Using Low-Fat Cottage or Part-Skim Ricotta cheese will minimize the calories without sacrificing flavor or texture. I like to use a glass bread pan in the oven that can go straight into the refridgerator and freezer for later. This recipe is super easy to prepare and pop in the oven if you're cooking a couple of other things for the week at the same time as I try to do. Also, the cheese mixture is what makes the meal. The added oregano and garlic salt make the cottage cheese **excellent** for stuffed shells, preparing a cannelloni - like appetizer/finger food, or dip for veggies (much healthier than sour cream and onion dip).
