Answers:
try making meat lasaga and add little chuncks of cooked italian sausage and some italian with surger, and add sprinkles of chedder cheese, very little, but to add a diffrent flavor!. Then add crushed garlic on the top in sprinkles!. That is a nice tangy sweet flavor with italian and cheese!. I make it and everyone has always loved it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
what ever you do don't use cottage cheese, that's something that will kill any Italian like me, try pesto Parmesan and heavy cream it's great, but please don't use cottage cheeseWww@FoodAQ@Com
Spice it up with Italian seasoning, sage, oregano--Reduce the tomatoey taste with spices & a little sugar!. Don't use cottage cheese--Ricotta, is much better!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
How about shrimp and scallop lasagna!. I've tried it, it is easy and very good if you like seafood!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
