LASAGNE

By pbaumgartner

(Mother's recipe)

This is the recipe we grew up with at home.

Ingredients

• 2 Tbs. salad oil
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 lb. hamburger
• 8-oz. can tomato sauce
• 2 1/2 c. tomato juice
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 tsp. oregano
• 8 oz. lasagne noodles
• 1/2 lb. sliced mozzarella cheese
• 3/4 lb. cottage cheese
• 1/2 c. grated Parmesan

Preparation

Step 1

Sauté the hamburger and garlic in the oil, then add the next 5 items and simmer 20 minutes. While it simmers, cook noodles in boiling salted water about 15 minutes, and drain them. Now fill a big buttered casserole dish with alternate layers of the noodles, cheese, tomato-meat sauce, and Parmesan. Bake it, uncovered, at 375° for 20 minutes.

You can even make this the day before, and just reheat it.
