I love having this in the fridge when guests come over. It’s so easy, I can focus on socializing, not stress about dinner. —Renee Vaughan, Galena, Ohio

Ingredients

1 pound bulk pork sausage
2 cans (one 28 ounces, one 14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes, undrained
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
2 tablespoons dried oregano
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
3 cups 2% cottage cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
12 no-cook lasagna noodles

Directions

In a Dutch oven, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes or until thickened.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine 2 cups mozzarella cheese, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs and parsley.
Spread 1 cup meat mixture into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Layer with 3 noodles, 1-1/4 cups meat mixture and 1 cup cheese mixture. Repeat 3 times. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake 20-25 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

I have made this recipe twice for company and both times it was a hit. I cooked sweet Italian sausage with one chopped onion, which really made it extra tasty. I also cut up the stewed tomatoes to avoid such big chunks. Definitely a keeper!

Pretty basic recipe. I thought 2 tablespoons of oregano seemed like quite a lot and cut it to 1 tablespoon. Oregano was still overwhelming. Next time I will cut it to 1-2 tsp. Maybe my family just aren't oregano lovers, but it would have been inedible with the full 2 tablespoons. I am assuming it is a typo and should be tsp.

This is almost the exact recipe that I use except instead of cottage cheese I use ricotta and I use crushed tomatoes in place of the stewed ones. Everyone asks me for my recipe and I take it to all covered dish dinners, super bowl parties, etc. Always come home with an empty dish.

This was easy to make and a very large meal! I am going to be eating it for a few days. Next time I would probably cut the stewed tomatoes into smaller pieces, but that is because my husband isn't a big fan of big pieces of tomato.
