Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, I start by preheating my oven to 375°F (190°C) so that it’s nice and hot for my Cottage Cheese Lasagna Bake. While waiting for that, I boil a large pot of salted water and cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. It’s always best to undercook them slightly since they’ll continue cooking in the oven. Once the noodles are ready, I drain them and let them cool just a bit before diving into the next steps.
