I just made lasagne for dinner last night. Yum! Here's my recipe:
1 lb. sausage, hamb., or a mix
1 sm. onion- chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. oregano
1 Tbsp. parsley
1-6 oz. tomato paste
2-8 oz. tomato sauce
1 cup water
1 pint cottage cheese
2 beaten eggs
1 lb. mozzarella-grated
1/3 cup parmesan-grated
1 pkg. lasagne noodles
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil, add meat and seasonings, and cook until done and crumbly. Add tomato sauce and paste. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a bowl, blend beaten eggs with cottage cheese.
To assemble:
Place noodles in a layer in a 9 x 13 pan. (I don't cook my noodles) Spread half of meat sauce mix over the noodles. Then add half of the cottage cheese mix over the top of sauce. Add parmesan and mozzarella.
Repeat process again for the top layer.
Bake in a 350* oven for 30-45 minutes, uncovered. Once done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
And alternate addition: add chopped spinach, carrots, broccoli as desired. I parboil the carrots and broccoli before adding them in.
