Anaid says:
I am definitely trying this when I get back to the states! I've been wanting to make lasagna from scratch for a while now and when i saw your title "50 year old lasagna recipe" I knew it would most likely be a good one. I'll let you know what I think when I make it, I should be getting back to the states next month so you'll see a new post by then. Thx

I have mixed the Ricotta and cottage cheese with beaten egg, salt & pepper and it is excellent that way

I use a similar recipe that was handed down over the years, from my inlaws who are from Italy. They also use the cottage cheese and it tastes wonderful. As for Authentic, you can't get any more authentic than that, personal preference is the key to any good cooking.

I made this recipe and it is great however I usually dont use cottage cheese to make lasagna, so I gave it a shot, I kinda cheated cause I mixed it half ricotta and half large curd cottage cheese, it turned out as good as grandma used to make back in the old country, I also added a twist on the noodles, I did not boil them before hand, I just layered them in the large lasagna pan, I could not tell the difference, plus it held together pretty good when cutting sections out. Thanks for the inspiration.

I make this recipient all the time only I don't make meatballs instead I use ingredients for meatballs and just add them to ground beef I also use raciota cheese it's wonderful and if I'm in a rush I just use oven ready noodles and use extra sauce on noodles
