Aunt Mary's Lasagna This recipe comes from the kitchen of my father's sister, Mary. It's meant to be essentially a weeknight-type of meal, so it is nothing complicated or elaborate; however, she says it is her favourite lasagna recipe, and I am sharing it here with you:
Aunt Mary's Lasagna1 pound lean ground beef 1 cup chopped onion 1 tablespoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon Italian seasonings 2 24-oz jars of pasta sauce 1 24-ounce container of cottage cheese 2 large eggs 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese 12 uncooked lasagna noodles 3 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese In large skillet over medium-high heat, cook and crumble beef, onions, garlic and Italian seasonings until the beef is no longer pink. Drain the fat, add the pasta sauce and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs and parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste, then set aside. Spread 2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Layer with 1/3 of the lasagna noodles, 1/3 of the meat sauce, 1/2 (one-half) of the cottage cheese mixture and 1/3 of the Mozzarella cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of noodles, meat sauce and Mozzarella cheese. Bake, covered, in a preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove cover and continue baking 15 minutes or until heated through. Remove from oven and let stand 15 minutes before serving. |
It goes without saying that some hot, crusty, buttered garlic bread would this a meal fit for a castle. The only thing I would do differently would be put the broiler on for a few minutes at the end, in order to brown the cheese; otherwise, I will be making this the ne time I make lasagna.
