This was originally my Mom's recipe and used to be a favorite when we were kids. I always requested it for my Birthday dinner.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 lb Italian sausage (I use Spicy Turkey sausage)
1/2 lb ground beef (I use ground Turkey breast)
1 teaspoon minced garlic, about
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt (I usually use less than this)
1 (1 lb) can whole tomato (Cut up and use the juice also)
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
2 cups ricotta cheese or 1 (10 ounce) carton ricotta cheese (I use the low fat version)
1 cup cottage cheese (lowfat or non-fat)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons parsley flakes
2 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
lasagna noodle, cooked (Just enough for two layers in a large Glass Pyrex baking pan)
1 lb mozzarella cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Brown the sausage and ground meat and drain all the fat.
  • Add all the other ingredients for the meat filling and simmer on the stove, uncovered, for about 1/2 hour.
  • I usually add a bay leaf or two.
  • Mix up the cheese filling and set aside in fridge until ready to use.
  • Put the noodles in salted water and cook until soft when poked with a fork.
  • When the noodles are done, drain the noodles and rinse off with cold water so they can be handled easily.
  • Spray the baking pan with a non-stick spray and put a layer of noodles down on the bottom of the pan. It is OK to cut some of the noodles to fit into the pan if they do not fit whole.
  • Spread half the cheese filling over the noodels, then half of the mozarella cheese on top of that, then half of the meat sauce over the grated mozarella cheese.
  • REPEAT layers and then top with more mozarella cheese.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into it.
  • Leftovers can be easily stored in the freezer.

I had some trouble finding no-boil lasagna noodles. I ended up using regular noodles and they worked fine.

This lasagna was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.
