  • 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1-1/2 cups small-curd cottage cheese

  • 3-1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
  • 9 uncooked lasagna noodles

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; set aside. In another bowl, combine the spaghetti sauce and beef; mix well.
