Notes

See the substitutions section of the blog post for ingredient substitution recommendations.
One serving equals 1/6th of the recipe or approximately 2/3 cup.
Not using full fat cottage cheese will result in excess liquid in this dish. Do not use fat free yogurt or cottage cheese, otherwise there will be liquid in the dish from not having enough fat to bind.
