Homemade Lasagna
Ingredients:
1 lb. Lean Ground Chuck
3 lbs. Spaghetti Sauce (I use Prego)
6 oz. can of Medium Pitted Ripe Olives
6 & 1/2 oz. can of Mushroom Pieces and Stems
6 Lasagna Noodles
2 lbs. Mozzarella Cheese
24 oz. container of Cottage Cheese
8 oz. can of Parmesan Cheese
Pilleteri's Italian Seasoning
Directions:
Brown Ground Chuck on high heat and crumble into pieces. Add to Spaghetti Sauce along with Mushrooms and Ripe Olives (whole or quartered based on personal preference). Simmer on low to medium heat until noodles (next step) are done. Add Italian Seasoning to sauce to taste.
Add Lasagna Noodles to 2 quarts boiling water. Cook uncovered stirring occasionally for 10 to 15 minutes until Noodles are al dente.
In a long, deep pan, layer and spread in the following order: half the Noodles, half the Sauce, half the Cottage Cheese, a liberal layer of Parmesan Cheese, and half the Mozzarella Cheese. Make a second layer on top of the first with the same composition.
Bake in the oven on 400°F heat for 45 minutes to an hour until all cheese is melted and lasagna is fully cooked throughout.
Makes 12 to 15 servings.
