Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 lb. breakfast sausage ((if you like it a little spicier, you can use hot breakfast sausage))
  • 1 onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 T. basil
  • 1 ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 12 oz tomato paste
  • 10 oz. lasagna noodles
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 c. cottage cheese
  • 3/4 c. parmesan cheese
  • 2 T. parsley
  • 1 t. salt
  • ½ t. pepper
  • 1 lb. mozzarella cheese

Instruction

  • Brown beef and sausage. Slowly, spoon off excess fat. Add onion and garlic. When onions are clear, add basil, salt, tomato paste, and tomatoes. Simmer, uncovered, 20-30 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, cook noodles in large amount of boiling, salted water until tender approximately 10-12 minutes. Drain and rinse. Beat eggs; add remaining ingredients, except mozzarella.
  • Open the 8 ounce can of tomato sauce and pour it on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. This keeps the noodles from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Layer 1/3 of the noodles over the sauce. Overlap lasagna noodles, using 4 noodles per layer. Spread with 1/3 of the cottage cheese mixture. Add 1/3 of the mozzarella cheese and 1/3 of the meat sauce.
  • Repeat two more times (noodles, cottage cheese, mozzarella, meat sauce). Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top. Bake at 350 for 35 min. Let lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
