Lasagna



2 lbs. meat (I usually use hamburger, you can use half sausage if you want)
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. parsley
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 (15oz) can hunts fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 (15 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (16 oz) cottage cheese
1 (24-30 oz) bag shredded mozzarella cheese
1 small container fresh grated parmesan cheese
1 pkg. lasagna noodles, cooked to package directions

Preheat oven to 400*. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with nonfat cooking spray. In a saucepan cook your meats, onions, and garlic together until no longer pink. Add all seasonings, tomatoes, and cottage cheese. Simmer on low for 10-15 minutes.


This is what sauce will look like.

To put together: Start with a layer of meat mix. Then add noodles to cover the meat mixture. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on noodles, and then meat again. Continue until you use all meat and noodles up. On the last layer, put noodles down; then parmesan cheese and then top with the grated mozzarella cheese. Spray a piece of foil with the nonfat cooking spray. Place in the oven and cook for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and cook an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is slightly browned and melted. Serve with garlic bread, and a green salad.
