CAHNGE UP THE RECIPE:

You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken. You can also use ground Italian sausage for a different flavor.

If you don’t like the flavor or texture of cottage cheese you can use ricotta. 

Veggies would be amazing in this!

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. hamburger
1 onion, chopped
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
black pepper, to taste
1 32 ounces of marinara 
14 lasagna noodles ( not no-boil)
3 tbsp. butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
small basil leaves, for topping (optional)
 
 
 

 

Directions

 
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the hamburger, onion and garlic and season with ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the  hamburger is browned and the onion is tender and lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
  2. Add the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Stir, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until beginning to thicken, 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, break each lasagna noodle into 3 or 4 pieces (they don’t have to be even). Add to the boiling water and cook, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Add the butter and parmesan to the sauce and stir until it’s all combined and melted. Throw in the cooked lasagna noodles and ½ cup of the reserved cooking water; stir to combine, adding the rest of the reserved cooking water as needed so the noodles are well coated and a bit saucy. Add the mozzarella and stir until softened but not fully melted.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and dollop the ricotta all over the top. Sprinkle with basil leaves.
