Once when some of my kids wanted macaroni and cheese and others wanted lasagna, I made up this recipe.

12 lasagna noodles, cooked, drained and cooled
4 T. butter or marg.
4 T. flour
4 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
garlic,salt and pepper to taste

1 container (2 cups) cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup shredded Munster or mozzarella cheese
a dash of nutmeg

1 cup shredded mozzarella or Munster cheese

In a sauce pan, melt butter, stir in flour. Gradually add the milk, stirring and cooking over low heat. It will thicken as it cooks. Once all the milk is in (and thicken) add the spices and cheese. Stir until cheese is melted. Remove from heat.

In a bowl mix the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded cheese and nutmeg.

In a lasagna pan, spoon some of the cheese sauce onto the bottom of the pan. Layer 3 noodles on top of that. Top the noodles with the cheese mixture. Repeat until noodles on top and pour a generous amount of cheese sauce over the whole thing.

Top with shredded cheese.

Preheat oven to 350.
Cover the lasagna with foil (spray the foil with Pam type spray so it won't stick to the top of the lasagna)
Bake covered 35 minutes. then uncover and bake another 10 minutes.

So in other words, a white sauce lasagna?

Sounds delicious! I think I'll try it (maybe for after the fast?) with mushrooms in it. That would win you some more brownie points, Cookie!
