Lasagna

The Meat Part

  • 1 lb. of ground meat (beef, chicken, turkey)
  • 1 tsp. garlic salt
  • 1 tbsp. basil
  • 1 can (1 lb. can) of chopped tomatoes (about 2 cups)
  • 2, 6 oz. cans of tomato paste
  • 1, 14 oz. can of sliced mushrooms

The Cheese Part

  • 3 cups of cottage cheese (large container)
  • ½ cup of grated Parmssan or Romano cheese
  • 2 tbsp. parsley flakes
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • 2 large eggs

Other things

  • 10 oz. lasagna noodles, or enough to cover the pan in two layers
  • 1 lb. of shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Brown the meat slowly and spoon off the fat while it's cooking, add the rest of the ingredients in the "Meat Part" above. Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes.

Put all of the items in the "Cheese Part" in a large bowl and mix well with a large spoon.

Boil a large pot of water and slide the lasagna noodles in one by one. Cook for 7 minutes. Strain the noodles and run cold water over them so they are easier to handle.

Put half the noodles in the bottom of a 9" by 12" baking dish; spread half the cheese mixture on top of the noodles; add half the mozzarella cheese then half the meat sauce. Repeat.

Bake at 375° for about 45 minutes. Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
