8/18/2012 - Simple Lasagna

Lasagna
Uses from this basket: Tomatoes, onion
Other produce: Garlic


This is an easy lasagna recipe that my mom made in my younger years. Now when we call her for the recipe, she repeatedly reminds us that it is a "simple" recipe and "nothing fancy." Simple or not, it's pretty good.

- 9 lasagna noodles
- 16 oz. cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
- 16 oz. grated mozzarella cheese
- 3.25 cups good pasta sauce (homemade here)
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Cook the noodles in boiling salted water until al dente. Spread 1/4 cup pasta sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Place 3 noodles on pasta sauce across pan. Spread 1 cup sauce over noodles. Place, in spoonfuls, 8 oz. cottage or ricotta cheese evenly on sauce. Cover evenly with 1/3 lb. mozzarella cheese. Lay 3 more noodles over cheese. Cover with 1 cup sauce. Place, in spoonfuls, 8 oz. cottage or ricotta cheese evenly on sauce. Cover evenly with 1/3 lb. mozzarella cheese. Lay last 3 noodles on cheese. Cover with last cup of pasta sauce and 1/3 lb. mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Cover with foil. Cook at 350 degrees for an hour until bubbly and awesome. Enjoy.
