I tried lasagna recipes from Ina Garten, Ree Drummond, and Giada De Laurentiis, and the winner used cottage cheese

• My family loves lasagna, so I tried recipes from Ina Garten, Ree Drummond, and Giada De Laurentiis.
• I thought De Laurentiis’ dish lacked flavor, and Garten’s was a little too cheesy. 
• Drummond’s recipe was the unanimous favorite, a classic take that called for 3 pounds of meat.

Lasagna is a favorite meal in my house.

As a busy mom with a picky eater, I find lasagna a straightforward dish with familiar ingredients that pleases my family.

I have a standard family recipe I always use, but I recently tested out lasagna recipes from the celebrity chefs Giada De Laurentiis, Ina Garten, and Ree Drummond.

Here’s how the unique recipes stacked up.
