Lasagna
Serves: 16
 
Ingredients
  • 1 lb lean ground beef (or ground chicken or turkey if you prefer)
  • ¾ cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can no-salt-added diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (15 oz) no-salt-added tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp Mrs Dash Steak Seasoning blend
  • 3 Tbsp dried parsley, divided
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1½ cups (12 oz) small curd cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 6 oz lasagne noodles, cooked without salt and well drained. (After cooking, place the noodles in single layers on wax paper so they don't stick together.)
  • 8 oz (1/2 lb) mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
  1. Cook and stir ground meat, onion, and garlic in a large skillet or saucepan until meat is brown throughout and the onion is tender. Drain off all of the fat.
  2. Add tomatoes to the meat and use a fork to break them up. Stir in the tomato sauce, Mrs Dash, sugar, basil, and 2 Tbsp of the parsley flakes. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for about an hour until most of the liquid has been cooked off.
  3. Heat oven to 350 degrees. If desired, line your 9 x 13 x 2 pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix cottage cheese, ⅛ cup of the Parmesan cheese, 1 Tbsp parsley, and the oregano.
  5. Reserve ½ cup of the meat sauce for the top layer.
  6. In a 9 x 13 x 2 pan, layer ⅓ each of the noodles, remaining meat sauce, mozzarella cheese, and cottage cheese mixture. Repeat 2 times.
  7. Spread the reserved ½ cup of meat sauce over the top. Sprinkle with ⅛ cup Parmesan cheese.
  8. (Note: If desired, lasagne can be covered and refrigerated or frozen at this time. If frozen, thaw completely in the refrigerator before cooking.)
  9. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes (or 1 hour if refrigerated). Remove from the heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
