I like this recipe because it can be prepared a day ahead and baked just before serving, so it's a great way to avoid that last-minute rush when attending a potluck. Using packaged spaghetti sauce and noodles that are not pre-boiled makes preparation especially quick. —Denise Goedeken Platte Center, Nebraska

No-Fuss Lasagna Recipe

Prep: 25 min. Bake: 1-1/4 hours + standing

Yield: 8 Servings

25 75 100

Ingredients

1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 can (12 ounces) tomato paste
3 cups water
2 packages (1-1/2 ounces each) spaghetti sauce mix
1 tablespoon sugar
4 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups (16 ounces) cream-style cottage cheese
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 package (16 ounces) lasagna noodles, uncooked

Directions

In a Dutch oven, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add tomato paste, water, spaghetti sauce mix, sugar, parsley, salt, garlic powder and pepper. Simmer, partially covered, for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
In a bowl, combine eggs with cottage cheese, half of the cheddar cheese and half of the mozzarella. Set aside. Spoon a third of the meat sauce into a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Place half of the uncooked noodles over sauce. Top with a third of meat sauce and press down. Spoon cottage cheese mixture over all. Cover with remaining noodles and meat sauce. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Bake, covered, at 350° for 1 hour. Uncover; sprinkle with remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Bake an additional 15 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Yield: 8 servings.

Love this! I like the fact that you can prep night before and bring out for company the next day!

I made this with my homemade sauce, but did the rest exactly as it stated above. I liked that I could make it the day before. We have overnight company frequently so this make a delicious, easy meal with no mess the day we bake it!!

Reviewed on Jun. 01, 2008 by Aquarelle

Although I try to cook from scratch as much as possible, I really like this recipe. If you use no-boil lasagna noodles you can skip the overnight refrigeration. And the recipe is easy to halve and bake in an 8" square pan. My husband and daughter love this lasagna.
