Day 15 - Lasagne (without cooking the noodles!)

This is my favorite lasagne recipe, hands down! You skip the step of cooking the noodles (yes, you use regular lasagne noodles, not the no cook kind), and it has a great flavor. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Lasagne

1 lb. ground beef
salt and pepper
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 c. water
3 c. mozzarella cheese, grated
16 oz. cottage cheese
2 eggs
1/2 c. fresh grated Paremesan cheese
9 regular lasagne noodles (don't cook them!)

Brown ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Drain. Add spaghetti sauce and water to the meat. Simmer. Mix cheeses, eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl. Put some of the sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish and add 3 pieces of uncooked lasagne noodles, more sauce, and 1/2 of the cheese mixture. Add 3 more noodles, more sauce and the other 1/2 of cheese mixture. End with 3 more lasagne noodles and the rest of the sauce. Bake covered at 350 for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 15 minutes. Let stand at least 15 minutes before serving.
