Best Answer: Currants are a small red berry that is sweet and a bit tart. Yes many times in a recipe that calls for currants, you can substitute them with raisins or dried cranberries. Currants are just a smaller grape variety. If you are making something that calls for currents, it's for the size probably. I would take some raisins and chop them up a bit, then measure out the amount that you need for the currants. Some people don't like the big raisin bite and currants are a great way around that, they are smaller by far.
In most recipes (including lasagna), the substitution measurement is a cup for cup. So if the recipe calls for a cup of ricotta, you could substitute a cup of cottage cheese. While many people believe ricotta and cottage cheese taste similar, there are some differences in the manufacturing processes and nutrition.
