The basic idea is you layer sauce, noodles, and thin layers of cheese until you run out of noodles, putting some extra mozzarella on the top, maybe. A combination of ricotta and mozzarella works best, but it would be *interesting* to see what exclusive use of mozzarella would turn out to be like. I like to mix romano in with the ricotta, personally.
If you want to put hamburger spinach, or bits of zucchini or other vegetables in the sauce, that's up to you.
An 8 X 8 pan should take from 45 minutes to an hour on 350 F, depending on how high you stack it. I get good results with the no-boil kind of noodles if you can find them, and it saves an extra step with no noticable difference in taste or texture. If you want to make sure the inside gets warm before the cheese gets brown, you can put aluminum foil on the top of the pan until the last ten minutes of baking.

Meanwhile, assemble the lasagna. Spread a thin layer of sauce in an ungreased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan; put down a layer of noodles, then another thin layer of sauce, a layer of ricotta, then mozzarella and finally parmesan. Repeat the layers, alternating: noodles, sauce, ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan, ending with sauce.

For your 8x8 pan...I'd cut this recipe in half.

Hi DebbyDoodle, I love this easy to make dip and you only need 3 ingredients. 1 large container of cottage cheese. 1 large size jar picante sauce. Bag of Frito's or Tortilla chips which ever you like. Mix the cottage cheese and the picante sauce together and serve with chips. This looks gross but it's very good. Enjoy: Blueladybug

You would usually use Ricotta cheese. Cook the noodles (half of what it calls for on the box if it has a recipe for 13x9x2 pan), layer with cheese (ricotta and mozzarella are good together) and your meat cooked with marinara sauce. You might also try going to FoodNetwork.com.

This is the recipe I use ground beef instead of turkey.
Lasagna Filling*:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 pounds lean ground beef or ground turkey
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
3 (28-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 (14-ounce) can tomato sauce
Lasagna:
4 cups ricotta cheese (regular or part-skim)
8 ounces grated mozzarella cheese (regular or part-skim), divided
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 uncooked lasagna noodles
1/4 cup grated Parmesan or Romano
*Cooks note: this amount of filling makes enough for 3 recipes. If you are only making this recipe, the extra sauce can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
For the Lasagna Filling:
Heat the oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute 3 minutes, until soft. Add, beef and cook 5 to 7 minutes, until browned all over, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Stir in basil, oregano and red pepper flakes.
Add diced tomatoes and tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
For the Lasagna:
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine ricotta, half of the mozzarella, egg, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pour 1 cup of the meat sauce in the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch lasagna pan. Arrange 4 UNCOOKED lasagna noodles on top of sauce, overlapping noodles slightly to cover the bottom. Spoon half of the cheese mixture over noodles. Top with 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce and 4 more noodles. Top second layer of noodles with remaining cheese mixture, 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce and 4 more noodles. Top noodles with 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce and remaining mozzarella cheese. Top with Parmesan cheese.
Refrigerate or freeze the remaining sauce.
Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 15 more minutes, until top is golden and bubbly. Let stand 5 minutes before slicing.

ricotta and mozzarella are much better than cottage cheese or if you don't like ricotta, use mozzarella and Parmesan. They are delicious. I use a small box of spinach with my lasagna too.
