My version of lasagna. With a few alterations you can make this a richer, less slimmed-down recipe, but this is what works for us.

Ingredients
  • 1 lb. extra-lean ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (16 oz.) can whole tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 ( 16 oz.) can tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1 tsp. dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 C. fat-free or low fat cottage cheese (you can use Ricotta if you like, it is just too salty for me.)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 Tb. dried parsley
  • 1/2 C. grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 lb. 2% shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 8 long lasagna noodles

Directions
  1. Brown meat in a large skillet.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Add chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, oregano, basil, thyme and black pepper.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes.
  5. Mix the cottage cheese, beaten egg, Parmesan cheese and dried parsley in a small bowl and store in the refrigerator.
  6. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions and rinse with cold water when done cooking to keep from sticking.
  7. Coat a large baking dish with cooking spray.
  8. Layer four lasagna noodles in the bottom, slightly overlapping.
  9. Then put down a layer of 1/2 of cottage cheese mixture, 1/3 of the shredded mozzarella, and 1/2 of meat mixture.
  10. Repeat layers.
  11. **Note: The order of the layers makes a difference. If it is not put together in this way, it falls apart easily.
  12. Finally sprinkle the top with the remaining third of the shredded mozzarella and maybe a dash or two of grated Parmesan.
  13. Bake in a 375 F oven for 30 minutes.
  14. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.
  15. **Note: This can be assembled early and refrigerated, just allow 15 minutes or a little longer to the cooking time.
