This lasagne recipe is pretty much the only lasagne I'll eat.....most recipes use ricotta cheese, but this one calls for cottage cheese, it's soooo good and my family loves it!!

My Mom's Amazing Lasagne

1lb. hamburger
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 t. garlic, minced
1 t. oregano
1 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 (16 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 (8 oz.) can tomato sauce
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1/2 lb. lasagne noodles (I usually figure about 3 per layer)
2 eggs
2 c. cottage cheese
4 c. mozzarella cheese, grated

In large skillet over med high heat cook together hamburger, onion and garlic. Once hamburger is browned add oregano, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste stir, cover and simmer for 30 min. stirring occasionally. While meat sauce is simmering, in a large saucepan bring water to a boil for the lasagne noodles, cook to al dente, drain and set aside. In a small bowl mix together cottage cheese and eggs. In a 9 x 13 pan layer as follows: 1/3 meat sauce, 1/2 noodles, 1/2 cottage cheese mixture, 1/2 mozzarella cheese, repeat, ending with meat sauce. Bake at 350 for 45 min.-1hr or until bubbly Ü
