Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 (26 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
½ cup water
1 (12 ounce) container cottage cheese
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
8 lasagna noodles
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Crumble beef and garlic into a 2-quart microwave-safe bowl. Heat in microwave on high until beef is no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Stir and drain beef. Add spaghetti sauce and water.
  • Combine cottage cheese, eggs, and black pepper in another bowl.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup meat mixture in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange half the lasagna noodles over sauce and spread with cottage cheese mixture. Top cottage cheese mixture with half the spinach, half the meat sauce, and half the mozzarella cheese; repeat each layer.
  • Cover baking dish with heavy-duty plastic wrap and heat in microwave on high for 8 minutes. Continue to heat in microwave on medium until noodles are tender and cheese is melted, 30 to 32 minutes, turning dish occasionally. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and allow lasagna to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

I would give this lasagna a 7 out of 10. It was easy to make and tasted good, but it wasn't the best lasagna I've ever had.

Overall, I thought this lasagna was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The lasagna was too dry. I think I should have added more sauce.

The lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of ricotta cheese, so I substituted cottage cheese instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point for lasagna. I added some extra vegetables and spices to make it my own.

I've made this lasagna several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it tastes delicious. I love that I can use my favorite jarred sauce.
