{Quick and Easy Lasagna}


My husband loves lasagna. We haven't eaten it in quite awhile. He requested it for this week so i thought i better make him something to hit the spot after his hard working days. Good thing i made it for him yesterday. He had a 14 hour work day and was a happy man when he came home and saw lasagna waiting for him. :) I haven't tried too many lasagna's, but i haven't felt the need to explore more varieties of lasagna b/c we enjoy the recipe we have. And it's so easy to make! In this picture, you can see i used two different cheeses. I didn't have mozarella b/c i forgot to buy some, so i used what i had...monterrey jack cheese and cheddar cheese.
Ingredients:
9 Whole grain lasagna noodles
1 lb. hamburger meat (we buy 93% lean)
1 TBSP. Italian Seasoning
1-2 tsp. Garlic
Ragu garden combination spaghetti sauce(regular size)
1 cup low- fat cottage cheese
1 cup non-fat sour cream
Cheddar cheese or mozarella cheese
Directions:
In a large sauce pan cook your hamburger. While it's still raw in the pan, poor in about 1 TBSP. of italian seasoning. Then put in about 1-2 tsp. of garlic. In the meantime, you need to be boiling your noodles. After the meat is done then add the spaghetti sauce. In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese and sour cream. In a cake pan, put a small amount of sauce on the bottom of the pan. Then put down 3 lasagna noodles. Put 1/3 of the cottage cheese mixture over alll three noodles. Then layer some sauce on top of that. Then add 3 more noodles. Then the cottage cheese mixture, then the sauce. Then 3 more noodles, then the last of the cottage cheese mixture, then the last of the sauce. Then put LOTS of cheese on top! We don't go lightly on the cheese when it comes to lasagna and enchiladas! :)
Cook at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese it melted and a little golden brown. So yummy! Enjoy!
