Lasagna
1/2 lb. lasagna noodles (9 noodles)
1 1/2 lb. ground beef
3 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce
1 pkg. spaghetti sauce mix
1 tbsp. sugar
2 c. ricotta or cottage cheese
2 c. mozzarella cheese
Cook lasagna noodles as directed on package. Pour off water. Place each noodle carefully on waxed paper to prevent sticking together. Brown ground beef. Add minced garlic and pepper to ground beef. Cook and stir for about 2 minutes. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and spaghetti sauce mix. Simmer about 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Set aside 1 c. meat sauce and 1/2 c. grated mozzarella for later use. Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Layer one cup meat sauce mixture on bottom of pan. Layer 3 noodles over meat sauce mixture to cover. layer 1/2 c. cottage cheese, followed by 1/2 c. grated mozzarella cheese, over that. Repeat layers a total of 3 times, ending with the reserved 1 c. meat sauce and 1/2 c. reserved grated mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
For some reason, I have missed out on a few of your posts, they look wonderful!! I love lasagna, I made it for my birthday! This looks like an easy and good recipe. When I make mine, I don't even cook the noodles. I make a little extra sauce, so it's very saucy! I just layer, with hot, bubbly sauce, just like if they were cooked, and put it in the fridge for a few hours before cooking. I cover mine for the first 30 min. and then uncover to brown the cheese. Once it is cooked I let it sit for 10 or 15 min, the noodles absorb lots of the extra sauce - it works out great! Love you!
