INSTRUCTIONS
How to Make Meat Sauce
1.
Place
a deep pan or dutch oven over medium/high heat and add 1 Tbsp olive oil, 1 lb
ground beef and diced onion. Saute, breaking up the meat, for 5 minutes or
until beef is no longer pink. Add pressed garlic and sauté another minute until
fragrant.
2.
Add
1/4 cup wine and stir for 2 minutes or until wine is nearly evaporated. Add 3
cups marinara, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/4 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp sugar and 2
Tbsp parsley. Bring to a simmer then cover and cook 5 minutes.
How to Make Cheese Sauce
1.
In
a large mixing bowl, combine 16 oz Cottage Cheese, 15 oz Ricotta, 1 cup
mozzarella, 1 egg and 2 Tbsp parsley. Mix well.
How to Make Lasagna
1.
Preheat
oven to 375˚F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and 9 lasagna
noodles. Cook until al dente according to package instructions.
2.
Spread
1/2 cup meat sauce in the bottom of a deep 9x13 casserole dish.
Add
3 noodles, spread on 1/3 of the meat sauce and sprinkle with 1 cup mozarella
cheese. Spoon on and spread the top with 1/2 of your cheese sauce.
3.
Repeat
until you have 3 layers of noodles:
Add
3 noodles, 1/3 meat sauce, 1 cup mozarella cheese, 1/2 cheese sauce
Add
3 noodles, remaining 1/3 meat sauce, remaining 1 cup mozarella.
4. Poke
9-12 toothpicks over the surface of your lasagna (to keep the foil from
sticking to the cheese). Cover with foil and bake at 375˚F for 45 minutes.
5. Remove
foil and broil for 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese turns golden. Let lasagna
rest 30 min before slicing.
