Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound Italian sausage (if you like it a little spicier, you can use hot Italian sausage)
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 cans (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes
- 12 ounces tomato paste
- 10 ounces lasagna noodles
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups cottage cheese
- 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 tablespoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound mozzarella cheese SLICED thin (it always comes out better when I use the sliced rather than the shredded cheese) Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Brown beef and sausage in a large skillet. 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. For the best flavor, allow to simmer up to an hour. If the sauce gets too thick you can add a little pasta water to thin again.
- Meanwhile, boil noodles in large amount of boiling, salted water until tender approximately 10-12 minutes. Lightly drain and set aside. 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. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 35 min. Uncover and bake another 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow lasagna to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results use full-fat cottage cheese. Low-fat or non-fat will water down the lasagna.
