Cottage cheese

My recipe for Beef Lasagne with cottage cheese, all going well, mince in crock pot, got lasagne sheets. Went to work on my way home stopped at local store to buy the cottage cheese, but they have none can I use sour cream or cream cheese instead.! The cottage cheese is used instead of a cheese sauce. Thanks

I think sour cream or cream cheese would be too fatty, and they wouldn't give the same solidity as cottage cheese.You might need to make a bechamel sauce.Ricotta would be good.

Probably too late now but
Cream cheese should work. I have a recipe that uses cream cheese or cottage cheese. I always use cream cheese because it is so tasty.
