Note
I use ricotta cheese, but you can also substitute cottage cheese if you wish. I have to add that there's nothing like the taste and texture of ricotta, however.
Italian sausage makes a perfect sauce, but tomato sauce, pizza sauce, etc. can also be used.
The recipe makes about 9 lasagna bites. Simply double the recipe if more are required.
