1 package lasagna noodles
Mozzarella cheese--either sliced or shredded
1 carton of cottage cheese, small curd
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 egg
Stir above 3 ingredients together for the "liquid" layer.
Sauce: (if make from scratch-see below, otherwise I get canned sauce (at least 2 jars-probably 3)and just add some browned burger, sausage, mushrooms, or whatever you want! that's the easier/faster way)
1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb. ground sausage
1 med. onion
garlic salt or garlic clove, crushed
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans tomato sauce
splash of sugar (about a teaspoon)
salt, pepper, italian spices (basil, oregano, parsley, etc. if you don't have Italian spice mix)
Cook sauce. If making from scratch, call me
Not from scratch - bertolli vineyard Marinara or traditional marinara
Boil the noodles until almost done---if overdone, they will tear easily. If underdone, they don't bake well
. Mix the cottage cheese mixture.
Shred the mozzarella cheese.
TO LAYER (in a 9x13" baking pan)
Start with a very light layer of sauce on the bottom, so nothing will stick. Can also spray with cooking oil if you wish.
1.NOODLES (3 per layer)
2.SAUCE
3.MOZZARELLA CHEESE
4. COTTAGE CHEESE mixture--drizzle on top of mozza and spread some with a fork so it is even.
REPEAT above 3 times.
On TOP: put meat sauce on top of noodles, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and/or parmesan cheese.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Bake UNcovered about 45 minutes. If you want moister lasagna, I cover the pan with foil for about 1/2 of this time. It will probably take 1 hour to bake if the lasagna was refrigerated before baking.
Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.
