BLUE CHEESE LASAGNA
The blue cheese in this recipe lends a creamy quality to the cottage cheese layer and only a subtle, pleasant touch of flavor. There is no mozzarella in this non-traditional lasagna that will have your guests waiting for the recipe handout. (Have it ready!) I have the habit of making way too much lasagna, so this recipe is perfect for keeping my portions under control for our now-empty nest with minimal leftovers. I believe this would work well in a slow cooker, but haven't tried it yet. Don't be afraid of the blue cheese flavor overpowering this recipe - it doesn't!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Coat the inside of a glass 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and pork in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Mix spaghetti sauce and brown sugar into beef-pork mixture until sauce is well blended.
- Combine cottage cheese, blue cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, and oregano in a bowl.
- Spread enough sauce into the bottom of the loaf pan to reach 1-inch depth. Break 2 lasagna noodles to fit the length of the loaf pan, slightly overlapping. Spread 1/2 of the cheese mixture over noodle layer. Layer 3 slices provolone, slightly overlapping, over cheese layer. Sprinkle 1/2 of the Cheddar cheese over provolone cheese. Repeat layering with the remaining ingredients ending in a layer of sauce.
- Place the loaf pan on the prepared baking sheet and top loaf pan loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

Blue Cheese Sauce
- Use high-quality blue cheese with a strong, pungent flavour.
- Use whole milk or half and half for a creamy, rich texture.
- Grate the blue cheese finely before adding it to the milk mixture, as this will help it to melt smoothly.
- Cook the milk mixture over low heat, stirring frequently, until it has thickened and reduced by about half.
- Add the blue cheese and cook until melted, stirring frequently.
- Season the blue cheese to taste with salt and black or white peppers.
Spinach Filling
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavour and texture.
- Wilt the spinach in a large pot with a little bit of water or broth until it has softened, stirring frequently.
- Add the spinach to a large bowl and mix it with the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and seasonings.
- Taste the spinach mixture and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Assembly
- Use no-boil lasagna noodles to save time and effort.
- Layer the lasagna noodles, spinach mixture, and blue cheese mixture in a 9x13 inch lasagna pan.
- Bake the lasagna in the centre of the preheated 350 °F (175 °C) until the cheese begins to brown and a toothpick comes out clean when it is tested in the centre, about 30 minutes.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Garnish
- Sprinkled some crumbled blue cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, or fresh chives over the baked lasagna before serving.
- Serve the lasagna with a side of crusty bread or a green garnish.
