I've said multiple times that I'll eat it either way but my husband is not a ricotta fan for some reason. Therefore I continue to use the recipe I grew up on. I don't think I've ever eaten eggplant. Zucchini is my favorite if it's breaded and fried but it does not belong in my lasagna.
Most importantly of all, Ricotta has a higher fat content, so is the obvious clear choice for lasagna. Divorce the heathen.
True story: I don't even think our local grocery store sells ricotta cheese. I'll investigate further tomorrow after work but I'm pretty sure I'd have to leave my home town to find some.
I'm way too lazy for that. We do own some cows but they're purely for meat and they are not in my back yard. The somewhat famous Osceola Cheese is within driving distance though.
Only the freshest homesteaded semen for her turkey club. Btw speaking of sexual fluids both of Dave chappell's new specials are awesome.
ACTUAAALLLLYYYY he didn't have any swastikas and the tattoos he did have were on his arms. *hair toss* I feel a lil sad that I'm not the only Jewess curing Nazis with my magical poon though. Also the discovery that people make lasagna with cottage cheese is one of the most disturbing things that has ever happened on this board.
There are as many people that make lasagna with cottage cheese as ricotta*, including Pioneer Woman. http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/the_best_lasagn/ who said, If that's the way (whey!) your mom made it, you wouldn't know any other way. I didn't know it was "supposed to" have ricotta until this debate came up with some friends a few years ago. *And, as Nett started pointing out, ricotta is a dairy by-product not a cheese, and has less calcium than cottage cheese.
Lasagna with cottage cheese. What the hell. Is that some retarded Canadian thing? Kind of like how appropriated bacon and fucked it up or calling vacation "cottage"?
