This is my mother's wonderful lasagna recipe. It has been a favorite in our family for years! Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef |
1 onion, chopped |
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste |
1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes |
2 cups water |
1 tablespoon dried oregano |
2 teaspoons garlic powder |
2 teaspoons salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1 tablespoon white sugar |
12 ounces cottage cheese |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 egg |
9 lasagna noodles |
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef until brown. Drain. In another skillet over medium heat, cook onion until translucent. Combine beef and onion in a large saucepan with tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, water, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper and sugar. Cook over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1 hour.
2. While sauce is simmering, blend cottage cheese, Parmesan and egg until smooth. Set aside.
3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5. Spread 1 cup of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cover sauce with 3 noodles. Cover noodles with one-third of remaining sauce. Top with half the mozzarella. Place another layer of noodles and one of sauce over the mozzarella; top that with the cottage cheese mixture. Top with remaining 3 noodles and remaining sauce.
6. Bake in preheated oven 30 minutes. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top and bake 15 minutes more, until golden and bubbly.
