This is the lasagna my mom always makes. Try as I might, I have never found a tastier recipe (especially for how simple it is) It's great for kids because it doesn't use ricotta cheese and if your kids are picky (like I was/am) you can make it without chunks of tomatoes or onions depending on the sauce you like. This isn't your usual blog-worthy recipe. It's really easy and simple...basically combining store bought items and baking...but you Facebook fans asked for it so here it is!
Ingredients:
About 12 lasagna noodles (UNCOOKED: one of the major selling points of this recipe)
Meat sauce: either homemade, if you have it, or get 2 jars of store-bought and mix it with 1 lb. of cooked meat.
1 big tub of cottage cheese (I use 2% low fat, don't got fat free...no bueno)
2-3 cups shredded mozarella cheese
Parmesan cheese for sprinkling on top...or throughout if you're me.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a 9x13 casserole dish put a thin layer of meat sauce, then 4 or so uncooked noodles, just however many fit, then more meat sauce, cottage cheese, a healthy sprinkling of mozarella, and repeat until the dish is full (mine fits about 3 layers). Sprinkle the parmesan on top of the mozarella on the last layer, cover with foil and bake for 1 hour, taking the tin foil off for the last 15 minutes. Remove when bubbling and let sit for 10 minutes to solidify a bit, unless you like lasagna soup. Done!
