Instructions
Prepare the Meat:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the Italian sausage and ground beef together. Cook until fully browned. Drain and discard excess fat.
Prepare the Sauce:
- Add minced garlic to the pasta sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Make the Cheese Mixture:
- In a large bowl, combine:
- Cottage cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- Eggs
- Dried parsley
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Mix thoroughly until smooth.
Prepare the Baking Pan:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Layer the Lasagna:
- Spread ¾ cup sauce on the bottom of the pan.
- Place 3 uncooked oven-ready lasagna sheets on top.
- Spread ⅓ of the cheese mixture.
- Add ¼ of the sauce.
- Repeat layers (noodles, cheese mixture, sauce) until ingredients are used.
Final layer:
- 3 lasagna sheets
- Remaining sauce
- 1 cup mozzarella
- Remaining Parmesan cheese
- If the sauce is thick, add ½ cup water around the edges of the pan.
Cover and Bake:
- Spray aluminum foil with cooking spray and cover the pan (spray side down).
- Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes.
- Then bake uncovered for another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set properly.
Notes
Do not boil oven-ready lasagna sheets.
Make sure the top layer is fully covered with sauce to avoid dry pasta.
Resting time is important for clean slices.
Use full-fat cheese for richer flavor.
