Molly's Scrumptious Lasanga



1 lb. ground beef
1 tbsp oil
1 clove garlic minced
3 tbsp parsley flakes - separated
1 tsbp fresh finely chopped basil
2 tsp salt
1 qt tomates
1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
1 (10 oz.) pkg Lasagna noodles
2 (12 oz) cottage cheese
2 beaten eggs
1 lb. Mozzarella cheese sliced (or grated. I buy the pre-grated stuff)
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 c. parmesan

1. Brown meat in olive oil.
2. Add garlic, 1 tsp. parsley, basil, salt, tomatoes and tomato paste.
3. Simmer uncovered for one hour.
4. Combine cottage cheese (I used ricotta), eggs, pepper and remaining parsley in a separate bowl.
5. In a buttered / greased 9x13 baking dish, arrange uncooked noodles, spread with half the ricotta cheese mixture, half mozzarella and half meat mixture.
6. Repeat step #5
7. Sprinkle parmesan on top. Cover tightly with heavy duty foil.
8. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes to 1hr.

**cooking time can be cut down by pre-cooking the lasagna noodles!
