Notes: Notes: Grandma found this recipe in a magazine years ago, and she made it her own. Grandma, being the good ‘Ol German-American she was, modified the recipe to suit her tastes and budget. The changes she made are as follows:
She used Weston Vegetable oil instead of olive oil
Cottage cheese was substituted for Ricotta cheese
Grandma used plain ‘ol canned tomatoes instead of the Italian variety.
