Ingredients

  • 1 - recipe of my spaghetti sauce (posted on my page)
  • 1 package lasagna noodles, cooked ( or use the no-cook noodles)
  • 2 - 16 ounce container of cottage cheese
  • 3 cups parmesan cheese, grated (not the green can)
  • 4 cups mozzerella or italian blend cheese
  • 3 - eggs

How To Make lasagna my way

  • Step 1
    Use a large lasagna pan or 2 9x13 baking dishes. I have a HUGE lasagna pan, so I use it. Next time I make lasagna, I'm going to weight it!
  • Step 2
    Make spaghetti sauce (with or without the veggies) as per my page. https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/italian/spaghetti-sauce-sorta-scratch.html?p=1 Mix the cheeses and eggs, reserving 1 cup of Parmesan for the top.
  • Step 3
    Begin building the lasagna starting with the sauce, noodles, cheese mixture, noodles, ultimately ending with cheese mixture. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Step 4
    Cover with foil and bake at 350. For a deep lasagna pan, 1 1/2-2 hours, for 2 9x13 pans, 1 hour. Remove the foil and let the cheese brown for the last 10 minutes. Let the lasagna rest for about 20 minutes before serving.
  • Step 5
    This freezes well before or after baking. I normally bake first, then make individual containers for the freezer. You can make this in smaller disposable baking pans for shut-ins or to freeze and bake at a later time. If you use the disposable containers, place them on a cookie sheet when you bake them.
