Andrew’s favorite lasagna:)
Here’s my recipe for lasagna which I don’t use the recipe for I’ve made it so many times! Original credit goes to my Mum for this one- I’ve tweaked a few things but the recipe comes straight from my childhood lasagna that Mum always made! It’s super easy because you don’t have to cook the noodles first.
Lasagna
Preheat oven 350 degrees.
Saute about 1 pound ground beef until browned with 1/2 of a chopped onion, minced garlic & Italian seasonings.
To the cooked beef (drain fat if needed first) add 1 16 oz container cottage cheese, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup red cooking wine or water, and 1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce (a 1 lb jar) and mix well. Use a little of the left over pasta sauce in the jar to spread on the bottom of your pan so the noodles don’t stick, and arrange one layer of noodles, covered with a layer of the sauce (save some for one more layer) and sprinkle with mozzarella (& parmasan if you like) cheese. Add another layer of noodles over the cheese, top with remaining sauce, and sprinkle with more cheese & Italian herbs. I use about 3 cups total cheese.
Bake 40 minutes covered with foil and 20 minutes uncovered. Let sit about 5 minutes and serve with a salad or garlic bread. Enjoy!
I’ve never had a better Lasagna nor do I ever hope to.

I’m sure Papa would be thrilled with that! Coming next week on our menu… some b-day Talerine:) (Also one of Andrew’s favorites)
