Lasagna question

I'm making a big thing of lasagna for tomorrow night. I only bought one container of ricotta, but I think I need two. Do you think I could add like half a brick of cream cheese and extra mozz to stretch it?

    My mom used cottage cheese if you have any

    I don't know about cream cheese. Do you have any sour cream to mix with the cream cheese to lighten it up and throw some parmesan in with it? Seriously, I have no clue how well this would work though, just thinking.

    I'm glad that's the direction you took. I wanted to comment but didn't want to come off like a cheese snob (which I totally am), but cream cheese round have killed it, IMO. The mozzarella will be way better.

    I seriously wish we would have weighed our big one.  It was in one of those big tin steamer pans.  We used 12 lbs ricotta, a pound of Romano, 9 eggs, and lots of sauce and noodles to make 2 big ones and one small.

    @bluepointtoasted Me too. I was just brainstorming. I'm not baking it until tomorrow, but my mouth is watering. I want to eat it so bad!

    We cooked up our " extra" noodles and mixed in a scoop of sauce and cheese....that is the reward for making it!

    Ricotta is so gross. My mom always made lasagna with cottage cheese growing up and one time in college I made stuffed shells with ricotta following a recipe and it tasted like I was eating sand. I hate the consistency.

    Without you I'll never make it out alive
    But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright

    I want lasagna now. My SO doesn't like it so I don't make it any more. I may have to make a small batch Thursday when I am home and he is at work
