We LOVE Italian food, and when you think of Italian food you think of: pasta, red sauce, and cheese! This recipe combines all of that into one extremely tasty entree! How do you make lasagna?

Ingredients: 2 lbs of ground beef or turkey (omit if you want vegetarian) 2 24 oz jars of your favorite tomato sauce (we like Prego Roasted Garlic and Herb, you can use homemade sauce if you prefer) 32 oz of cottage cheese (can substitute for ricotta if preferred, cottage cheese is moister and tastes better in our opinion) 3 large eggs 2 boxes of ready to bake lasagna sheets 1 white or yellow onion chopped 4 cups of shredded Italian cheese blend (mozzarella, parmesan, asiago, romano, and provolone) (you can just use your favorite shredded cheese if you prefer) 16 oz tomato paste (we like Contadina best) Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees 2. Cook ground beef and chopped onion on stove top, drain grease and let cool 3. Combine tomato sauce and tomato paste in large mixing bowl 4. Mix crumbled ground beef/onion mixture into tomato sauce mixture 5. In separate bowl, mix together cottage cheese, 3 cups of shredded Italian cheese blend, and eggs 6. In 16x9 greased baking pan, pour small amount of tomato sauce/ground beef mixture to barely coat bottom of pan. 7. Place lasagna noodle sheets on bottom of pan 8. Layer lasagna: lasagna noodle sheets, tomato/ground beef sauce, cheese mixture, and repeat 9. Finish with tomato sauce on top and sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Italian cheese blend on top (can use more if you want to) 10. Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes or until cheese on top is golden brown and bubbling 11. Let sit for 10 minutes out of oven 12. Slice and enjoy! Notes: 1: If you want the lasagna to cook faster or don't have a 16x9 pan, use 2 8x8 pans and cook for at least 60 minutes until cheese on top is golden brown and bubbling 2: Put a baking sheet with foil on it underneath the pan in case it overflows.
