Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 9 ready for the oven lasagna noodles (( no boil noodles))
  • 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1/2 medium white onion (chopped ( optional))
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • one 700-750 millilitres jar of four cheese pasta sauce
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 500 grams cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 5 cups pizza mozza and cheddar cheese (mixed & shredded)

Instruction

  • In a large frying pan, fry up the ground beef and onions together until the ground beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft and translucent.
  • Drain the excess grease and add in the garlic. Sautee until the garlic is browned.
  • Stir in the sauce and the water, remove from heat.
  • Combine the cottage cheese, egg and Italian seasoning.
  • In a 9x13 baking pan, spread 1/3 of the sauce mixture on the bottom. Lay three noodles on top.
  • Spread half of the cottage cheese mixture on top of the noodles evenly. Top with a cup of mixed cheese.
  • Lay another 3 noodles on top. Spread out another 1/3 of the sauce on top of the noodles. Spread the last of the cottage cheese mixture on top, followed by a cup of mixed cheese.
  • Lay the last 3 noodles on top, followed by the last 1/3 of the sauce mixture. Sprinkle with another 2-3 cups of the mixed cheese. ( I like a seriously good layer of cheese on top!)
  • Cover and bake in 350 °F oven for 45-50 minutes. If you like, remove the cover and bake the cheese on top for another 5-10 minutes to get it slightly crispy around the edges.
  • Remove, let sit for 10 minutes and then slice and serve.
