Great comfort food. Its simplicity makes it a dish loved by many. The ingredient that makes this recipe special is the cottage cheese, which is not traditionally used in lasagna.

Directions
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook beef until brown and drain.
- In another skilled, cooked chopped onion until translucent.
- Combine beef and onion in a large saucepan with: Water crushed tomatoes tomato paste oregano garlic powder salt pepper sugar
- Cover sauce over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 45 min to an hour. (do not skip this step! trust me!)
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 10 minutes; drain.
- Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
- While sauce is simmering, blend cottage cheese, parmesan, and egg. I like to blend it until its smooth so you dont see any cheese curds.
- Spread 1 cup sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 in. baking dish . Cover sauce with 3 noodles. Use ¼ of the cottage cheese mixture and spread. Note: I don’t like using all of the cottage cheese. Same with sauce (⅓). And ⅓ mozzarella.
- Place another layer of noodles and repeat.
- Top with remaining 3 layer of noodles and repeat, but set aside remaining mozzarella.
- Bake in oven for 30 minutes. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top and bake for 15 minutes more, until golden and bubbly.
