You put what in your lasagna?
Cottage cheese.
Here’s where you need to be open minded and just give it a try. Even if you don’t like cottage cheese in any other circumstance, chances are if you follow my mother’s recipe you will be pleased.
Ingredients
9 lasagna noodles
24 ounces marinara sauce
20 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
18 ounces cottage cheese
1 to 1 1/2 pounds of ground meat
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Boil your lasagna noodles until soft.
- While you’re waiting, brown your meat of choice in a medium sauce pan.
- Once your meat is done, add sauce and let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Lightly coat the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan with your meat mixture.
- Lay out three noodles, followed by a coating of the meat mixture, 9 ounces of cottage cheese and a layer mozzarella and parmesan. Make sure you cover the corners, too.
- Repeat step six.
- Repeat step six again, without cottage cheese.
- Bake for 45 to 60 minutes.
- Make sure to let your masterpiece cool before trying to cut it.
