Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb Italian sausage
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup tomato, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, chopped

Directions

  1. Sauce:
  2. Brown 1/2 lb of ground beef. Cook 1/2 lb of Italian sausage (choose spiciness as desired). While browning meat add 1/2 cup chopped onions and 3 cloves of garlic (optional). Once meat is brown, drain fat and add 1 jar of Ragu spahgetti sauce. Add 1 cup fresh tomato, chopped. Add 1 cup fresh mushroom, chopped. Season with salt, pepper, and oregano to taste. Bring to a slow boil and then simmer.
  3. Main Dish:
  4. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Fill a large stock pot with hot water and add a splash of olive oil and bring to a boil. Add lasagna noodles and boil for 10 - 15 minutes until tender. Drain in a colander and rinse with hot water. In a large tub of cottage cheese add 1 egg and salt and pepper if desired - set aside. Slice fresh mozzarella cheese about 1/8 inch thick. In a large casserole dish cover the bottom with lasagna noodles. Place one layer of sauce over noodles. Place one layer of cottage cheese mix over sauce. Scatter 4-6 pieces of mozzarella cheese over the cottage cheese. Continue layering with noodles (in a criss-cross pattern), sauce, cottage cheese, and mozzarella until dish is full ending with mozzarella on top.
  5. Put in oven and cook 30-40 minutes until cheese on top is melted and slightly brown.
