3 years ago I tried to make a budget lasagna with cottage cheese instead of ricotta

I was at my apartment in Phoenix, saving every penny I could. It turned into a watery soupy mess that leaked all over the oven rack. Has anyone else had a swap go totally wrong like that?

Totally been there, my cottage cheese lasagna ended up in the trash too.

Three times I've tried cottage cheese in lasagna and every single time it came out watery and gross. The last batch had pools of liquid sitting on top of the cheese layer like it was crying. Ended up just scraping the good parts off and throwing the rest in the trash. Tastes fine in theory but something about the baking process just ruins it.
