"The idea for this recipe came one summer when we had an excess of zucchini and fresh basil. Although I usually use ricotta in my lasagna, I only had cottage cheese, so I used that. The oven-ready noodles and bottled sauce make this a quick recipe to put together. It's great to have a tasty and healthier version of a longtime family favorite." - Carolyn Marck, Seattle, Washington
