EASY ONE-STEP LASAGNA
This is a family favorite; easy without cooking noodles in advance. Use your favorite spaghetti sauce & lighten the recipe with low-fat cheeses if desired. It's always great.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350. Brown beef, drain & stir in spaghetti sauce, water, basil & oregano. Simmer 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 2. In a small bowl, combined cottage cheese & beaten egg.
- 3. Spread thin layer meat sauce in bottom of 9 x 13 pan. Layer 1/3 noodles, 1/3 sauce, 1/3 cottage cheese & 1/3 mozzarella; repeat, ending with mozzarella; sprinkle with parmesan. Cover with foil, bake 30 minutes. Remove foil & bake additional 25-30 minutes. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.
- 4. Serve with garlic bread & salad.
Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your lasagna a more complex flavor. Some good options include mozzarella, ricotta, Parmesan, and Asiago.
- Don't overcook the pasta. Al-dente pasta is best for lasagna. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and the lasagna will be less enjoyable.
- Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is one of the most important parts of lasagna. Make sure you use a sauce that you love the taste of.
- Layer the lasagna properly. The order of the layers is important. Start with a layer of sauce, then a layer of pasta, then a layer of cheese. Repeat this process until you have used up all of the ingredients.
- Bake the lasagna until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Conclusion:
One-step lasagna is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can make a lasagna that is sure to impress your family and friends.
