Preparation
Chef’s notes
The flaxmeal adds a nice texture/flavor and helps the lasagna hold together, but it’s not essential to the recipe.
The lasagna works well as a freezer meal.
Ricotta cheese can be used as a substitute for cottage cheese.
Ground beef or turkey can be added for a non-vegetarian version.
