Simple Sausage Lasagna

Simple Sausage Lasagna
When I saw a lasagna recipe that did not call for precooking the noodles, I was anxious to try this time-saving shortcut. Making some changes and additions to suit my taste, I developed this popular dish that I now call my own.
12 ServingsPrep: 20 min. Bake: 55 min. + standing

Ingredients

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 1 jar (26 ounces) spaghetti sauce
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 cups (24 ounces) 4% cottage cheese
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder, pepper, dried basil and oregano
  • 9 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 3 cups (12 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet, cook sausage over
  • medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce and
  • water. Simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl,
  • combine eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley and
  • seasonings.
  • Spread 1/2 cup meat sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer
  • with three noodles and a third of the cheese mixture, meat sauce and
  • mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers twice.
  • Cover and bake 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes or until a
  • thermometer reads 160°. Let stand 15 minutes before cutting.
  • Yield: 12 servings.
