Does low-fat cottage cheese taste just as good as regular?

I just noticed that my container of cottage cheese says 4% milk fat! Wow, I need to buy low fat, but wonder about the taste. And could I use low fat kind in lasagna?

1. yes it does
2. ONE - STEP LASAGNA 1 1/2 lb. ground beef or ground turkey 1 sm. onion Garlic salt or powder 15 1/2 oz. jar spaghetti sauce 1 box lasagna noodles, uncooked 1 sm. container cottage cheese, low fat Parmesan cheese 2 (8 oz.) pkg. mozzarella cheese Combine ground beef/turkey, onions and garlic; brown. Add spaghetti sauce. 1st layer spaghetti/meat sauce. 2nd layer lasagna noodles, uncooked. 3rd layer cheeses. Repeat. Bake in 9 x 13 inch pan. Cover tightly with heavy duty foil. Sit on cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Let stand uncovered 10 minutes and serve.
3. I use low-fat cottage cheese. By itself, there is a slightly different taste. Not quite as good. If it's put into lasagna, you won't know the difference. Go for it.
4. Yes it tastes almost exact and it is great in lasagna! I've sold many lasagna and I have used it many times!
5. i like it better actually. and yes, put it in the lasagna... now i am craving cottage cheese..
6. There are some foods that I will absolutely not eat if it's low fat. But cottage cheese isn't one of them. And yes, it's great in lasagna.
7. Honestly I stick with the 2% cottage cheese singles from Market Basket. (if you have that near you) I typically drink 1% milk because of fat content plus I just like it better... regardless the 2% cottage cheese is the bomb. It costs less and is better for your health. For real I'm not a health nut I go by taste and this is the best.
