There’s an undisputed joy to eating cheese, and that joy grows exponentially with each cheese you add to the plate. Four Cheese Lasagna is therefore mathematically delicious! Neufchatel, mozzarella, parmesan, and cottage cheese make for one tasty dish with notes of sharpness, creaminess, and tanginess. Combined with a deeply savory meat sauce and tender noodles, Four Cheese Lasagna is a literal delight in layers!
