Favorite Recipes: Lasagna

My children love Lasagna! Some of them don't like ground meat so I make it half with meat and half without. Here is my favorite Lasagna recipe:

1 (12 oz) pkg. of oven ready lasagna noodles
2 (15 oz) containers of cottage cheese (some people like to use ricotta)
2 cups shredded mozzarella divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
2 eggs
1 (26 oz) jar of pasta sauce
1 cup water
1 lb. ground beef browned

Preheat oven to 425.
Combine 1 cup mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, and 1/4 cup Parmesan in a medium bowl. In another bowl combine meat, water, and sauce. In a 9x13 pan, spread 1 1/2 cups meat sauce. Place 1/3 lasagna noodles over sauce then half cheese mixture and top with sauce. Repeat once then top with remaining noodles and sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 60 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving. Makes 9-12 servings.

Great idea to half and half it! We do that with pizza, but I never thought of lasagna. Your recipe is simple and I definitely plan to try it.

You don't have to use the "oven-ready" noodles, you can just use the regular noodles and they cook in the oven - they're better for you too :)
