CINDY'S LASAGNA

This is a recipe I created through experimentation. I knew a woman who always asked me to cook it for her, she said she had tried lasagna from here to Italy and it was the best she had ever tasted. This is a recipe that makes enough for a large family gathering!

1 package of lasagna noodles
1-1 1/2 jars thick spaghetti sauce
1/2 chopped green pepper
1 large chopped onion
1 large container Ricotta or small curd cottage cheese
2 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/2 tsp. cracked black pepper
2 eggs
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley
1 large package (3 cups} fancy shredded cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 lb. Italian sausage cooked and chopped
1 lb. ground beef cooked and chopped, then mix meats together
2 cans of mushrooms slices

Sauté onions and peppers in butter or olive oil.
Combine Ricotta or cottage cheese with eggs, Parmesan cheese, cracked black pepper and parsley.

Cook noodles rinse in cold water, drain and separate, set aside, preheat oven to 375°F.

In a large deep non-stick baking pan, layer bottom with spaghetti sauce, about two cups. Next, place a layer of noodles, then sauce until lightly covered, then a thin layer of Rictotta or cottage cheese mixture, meats, onions and peppers, and mushrooms, sprinkle remaining cheeses in layers, one on top another.

When you lay your last layer of noodles, place a thin layer of sauce and (make sure you have saved enough cheeses for the top) over the layer of sauce layer cheeses with the mozzarella on top, bake at 375°F uncovered until the top is golden brown and bubbly.


3 CHEESE LASAGNA

1 box lasagna pasta
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. brick Mozzarella cheese
1 (16 oz.) sm. curd cottage cheese
1 med. size Ragu sauce
Parmesan cheese

Brown ground beef and drain; add to Ragu sauce and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and cool. Cook pasta according to package directions and drain. Grease bottom and sides of a 9x13 pan. Layer ingredients in this order: pasta, dotted spoonfuls of cottage cheese, sprinkled shredded Mozzarella cheese, and meat sauce.
Continue layering to depth of approximately 1 1/2 inch to 2 inches. After last layering, sprinkle Parmesan cheese generously over the top of the casserole.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes uncovered on middle rack of oven. MICROWAVE: Use glass pan, cover with plastic wrap, and bake on high for 20 minutes.

Answer 2

Take your favorite recipe and substitute the meat for vegetables. I use carrots, broccoli and cauliflower. Chop them up to bit size pieces.

I can't give you my secret recipe. But I can tell you that if you don't have a favorite recipe sample several recipes until you find one that just pops for you.

Good Luck. Happy Eating.
