I love to cook—and I love this recipe! Its one-of-a-kind taste is a delicious change of pace from "regular" lasagna.—James Hospodka, Omaha, Nebraska

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, cubed
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 7 ounces shredded Gouda cheese
  • 2 cups 4% cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 8 ounces lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
  • 12 ounces sliced or 3 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • Minced fresh parsley

Directions

  • 1. In a large skillet, cook the beef, celery and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic. Cook for 1 minute or until garlic is tender; drain. Stir in the cream, cream cheese, basil, oregano, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper; cook and stir over low heat until blended.
  • 2. Gradually add cheddar and Gouda cheeses, stirring until cheese is melted; remove from heat. Combine cottage cheese and egg; set aside.
  • 3. Layer half of the lasagna noodles in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Top with half of the meat sauce, half of the cottage cheese mixture and half of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.
  • 4. Bake at 375°, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
