Lasagna, non frozen.

September 15, 2007

I seem to have lost my muse. So I will just paste a recipe that a friend gave me. I love lasagna and this recipe is for a quick cheese lasagna, no meat. Want to add something to it? Go right ahead and add your favorite meat, I like italian sausage. Vegetarian? Add some spinach, tomatoes and peppers. Have fun.

Four cheese lasagna

INGREDIENTS

  • 16 ounces uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 (26 ounce) can spaghetti sauce
  • 1 pound cottage cheese
  • 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  3. In a blender or with an electric mixer, blend tomato sauce and cottage cheese together until smooth*. Spoon a little of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Place a layer of cooked noodles over the sauce, and sprinkle a portion of the mozzarella, the cheddar and the parmesan over the noodles. Repeat layering of sauce, noodles and cheese; finish with a cheese layer.
  4. Bake in preheated oven 30 to 45 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden.

* I usually do not mix the cottage cheese(or ricotta) with the sauce like this recipe say but it works fine either way.

Enjoy
