Notes

There are a variety of substitutions that can be made within this recipe. To start, the sausage can be any heat level your family enjoys. You can also use chorizo or hamburger.
Although egg plants were used, other low carb vegetables like spinach would work as well. Layering thin slices of zucchini would work too!
If you don't have cottage cheese or not a fan, you can replace with Ricotta cheese.
