World's Laziest Lasagna

"This is a great make ahead, no boil lasagna. I've tried it at high altitude and low, ahead of time or that day. I've served as is, or added a layer of torn up spinach and pesto leaves on top of the cheese layers. For a wedding, I once made 3 pans of this. It's great!"

directions

  • Brown the beef and garlic in a skillet.
  • Drain.
  • Add spaghetti sauce; heat on low.
  • While meat sauce is heating, mix the cottage cheese, ricotta, mozzarella, egg, and 1/2 cup of the parmesan.
  • Spread 1 1/2 cups of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
  • Put a layer of noodles over the sauce, so that none overlap.
  • If you have to break a noodle to fill in gaps over 1/2 inch, that's okay.
  • Put a layer of cheese mix over the noodles.
  • Add about 1/2 of the remaining meat sauce; spread over cheese.
  • Repeat layers.
  • End with cheese on top; put remaining parmesan on top of the other chesse.
  • Pour 1 cup of water around inside edges of the pan, and cover with foil.
  • **Bake in a 350 oven for 1 hour, then uncover and bake 15 minutes more.
  • Take from oven and let cool about 10 minutes before serving.
  • Can be refrigerated up to 48 hours at this point.

  1. Wildheart, this is one of the very best lasagna recipes I ever made. I used all ricotta, no cottage cheese. I had to hold it overnight and baked it the next day. It was perfect: good texture, good flavor. A nice solid easy-to-cut lasagna. Thanks for sharing....Janet

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Still in West Virginia but we've moved a few miles away, down to the county capitol. It's a compromise: bigger than our last town but smalelr than the "big city" of Cumberland MD, right up the road. Jobs are not that plentiful here so I am fortunate to be able to work at home (I'm a writer). My passion is cooking and feeding people family well....my pet peeve is the family court systems in America......my love is for emergency medicine and the people that make survival in a crisis possible
