Time 1h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 lb ground beef
1 lb hot breakfast sausage
2 garlic cloves, minced
29 ounces whole tomatoes
6 ounces tomato paste
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups cottage cheese
2 whole beaten eggs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (not shredded)
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1 lb sliced mozzarella cheese
10 ounces lasagna noodles
1/2 teaspoon salt for noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil for pasta water

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil with oil and salt.
  • In a large skillet or saucepan combine ground beef, sausage, and garlic.
  • Cook over medium high heat until browned.
  • Drain half the fat (less if you're feeling naughty).
  • Add tomatoes, tomato paste, 2 tablespoons parsley, basil, and salt.
  • After adding the tomatoes, the sauce mixture should simmer for 45 minutes while you are working on the other steps.
  • In a medium bowl, mix cottage cheese, beaten eggs, grated Parmesan, 2 more tablespoons parsley, and 1 more teaspoon salt. Stir together well. Set aside.
  • Cook lasagna until al dente (not overly cooked).
  • Arrange 4 cooked lasagna noodles in the bottom of a baking pan, overlapping if necessary.
  • Spoon half the cottage cheese mixture over the noodles. Spread evenly.
  • Cover cottage cheese with a layer of mozzarella cheese. Spoon a little less than half the meat/sauce mixture over the top.
  • Repeat, ending with meat/sauce mixture. Sprinkle top generously with extra Parmesan.
  • Either freeze, refrigerate for up to 2 days, or bake immediately at 350 for 20 to 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

I had some trouble making this lasagna. The sauce was too thin and the noodles were overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This lasagna is a bit too rich for my taste. I prefer a lighter lasagna with more vegetables and less cheese.

I made this lasagna for my vegetarian friends and they loved it! I used a meatless marinara sauce and added some extra vegetables to the filling. It was a delicious and satisfying meal.

I love that this lasagna can be made ahead of time. I usually make it the day before and then bake it just before serving. It's a great way to save time on a busy weeknight.

This lasagna is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The slow-simmered sauce is packed with flavor and the lasagna noodles are cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this recipe.

I was skeptical at first because I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, but this lasagna changed my mind. The combination of ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses was perfect. The lasagna was rich and creamy, but not too heavy.
