A Light Moussaka Recipe

This is a lighter version of moussaka using cottage cheese instead of bechamel. I have made it a few times lately when hosting family or friends for lunch, it is always a great success. Simple, quick and tasty!! I forgot to take photos of the meat sauce so will add them next time I cook it 😉

Soy inglesa pero llevo ya mucho mas que la mitad de mi vida viviendo en el sureste de España, al lado del Mar Mediterráneo. La cocina siempre ha sido mi manera de relajarme después de un día duro, y también una forma de comunicar a mis hijos y mi familia lo mucho que les quiero. Sea una comida o cena inesperada, un simple aperitivo, un cumpleaños, unas navidades... si les puedo transmitir el amor que les tengo gracias a un sabor especial que aporta un plato que cocino.., pues mi misión como madre, amiga, pareja, hermana, tia.... está mas que cumplida ❤️
