This dish is easy to make and so yummy. I have made it for several of my vegetarian friends after they had babies and they insisted on the recipe after they ate it. It is very flavorful and easy enough for a quick meal.

So tasty!! Also good with Swiss chard instead of spinach.

This makes too much for my family, so I cooked half, then froze the rest for later. I only cooked half the noodles but assembled everything else as directed. I divided the sauce, cheese and ricotta mixture in half, used half, then froze the remainder of each thing separately. On cooking day I thawed everything, cooked my noodles, and followed the recipe using my frozen sauces. Turned out great!

Made this again tonight. Didn't have cottage cheese on hand and it turned out just fine. Instead of spaghetti sauce we simmered diced Italian tomatoes.
