When company drops in, Debbie uses the sauce to assemble this cheesy lasagna. Oven-ready noodles, which don't need to be cooked before they're layered in the baking dish, further speed preparation of this easy entree.

Yield: 9-12 Servings

20 35 55

Ingredients

2 cups Big-Batch Beef Sauce
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 cups (16 ounces) 4% small-curd cottage cheese
1 egg
6 no-cook lasagna noodles
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

In a saucepan, combine beef sauce, tomato paste and basil. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Combine cottage cheese and egg; mix well.
Spoon a third of the meat sauce into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Layer with three noodles, half of the cottage cheese mixture and a third of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Top with remaining meat sauce and mozzarella.
Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until bubbly and the cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Yield: 9-12 servings.
