Do you ever find that you need to drain the cottage cheese first? My mom taught me that with her lasagna recipe. It helps to reduce the lasagna's "soupiness" after it's baked.
Yum! I make a version of that with half tofu/half ricotta mixture.
I absolutely love this stuff... my version calls for ricotta.
A more fancy name is 'cannelloni'- I know they're made of lasagna sheets not cannelloni pasta but the theory's the same- I think we safely call these cannelloni too.
* hobsy: I have noticed that, actually! Typically I drain it as best as I can, and dry the noodles too, just to avoid having that thinned out sauce taste after baking. :]
* sarahash: I've used ricotta in the past, but I think I prefer the texture of the cottage cheese more in this particular recipe. But I've never tried it with tofu. That may be next on my list!
* danze: As I was telling sarahash, I think I just prefer this chunkier texture.
* bkk: I suppose that technically you are correct. By definition this can indeed be called cannelloni. Haha.
This recipe inspired my dinner last night:

i am definitely going to try this with cottage cheese. not such a fan of ricotta.
This was SO good! We used ricotta. What a great dinner, and yummy leftovers!
