Makeover Creamy Broccoli Lasagna image

This version of this casserole using less butter, fat-free milk instead of whole milk and lighter cottage cheese and Swiss cheese. It has a third fewer calories, two-thirds less cholesterol and just a quarter of the fat and saturated fat. Yet it's still creamy and delightfully satisfying.-Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin

I thought this lasagna was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This lasagna was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter sauce. However, the lasagna was still very good and I would definitely make it again.

This is my new favorite lasagna recipe! It's so creamy and cheesy, and the broccoli adds a nice pop of flavor. I highly recommend it.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The lasagna was bland and the broccoli was overcooked. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

This lasagna was easy to make and tasted delicious! I made a few substitutions, such as using frozen broccoli instead of fresh and using a different type of cheese. It still turned out great.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The lasagna was cooked evenly and the cheese was melted and gooey. The broccoli was still slightly crunchy, which I liked. Overall, this is a great recipe for a weeknight meal.
