LASAGNA

Step One

Brown 1lb of Sausage or Hamburger.

Add

1 Tbs. Basil

1Tbs. Parsley

1/2 tsp. Garlic powder

After meat is all browned. drain grease.

Add 2 1/2 Cups of crushed or diced tomatoes.( if you don't like chunks. find the puree)

1 1/2 Cups. Tomato Paste

( Easier to deal. Use 2 large cans of tomatoes. and 1 small to med can of paste.)

Let mixture simmer for about 30-45 min

Step 2

Mix in bowl

2 Large container of cottage cheese. ( approx 4 cups.)

( I know some people prefer ricotta, go ahead and try it if your not a cottage cheese fan.)

2 eggs

1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese

2 Tbs. parsley

1/2 tsp of pepper

Mix together and set aside

BOIL

8-10 Lasagna noodle

( I don't trust the ones you don't have to boil.)

GRATE

1 very large Block Mozzarella

( go cheesy!)

Use a

13x9 pan ( if you have a little bigger. go for it.)

LAYER :

1- noodles ( over lap just a bit, cover edges)

2-Cottage cheese mixture.

3-cheese

4- Meat sauce

Repeat steps.

Cook in oven at 350' for about 30 min

( it will start to bubble a bit)

Let stand/cool for about 10 min before serving.

Left overs are fantastic and it freezes great!
