1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
lasagna noodles, uncooked
1 15oz. container of cottage cheese (or ricotta cheese if you prefer)
2 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 c. parmesan cheese, grated
Preheat oven to 375. Brown ground beef and onion. Add sauce. In a 2 quart baking dish (I use a 9"x13" glass pan), spread 1 cup of the sauce mixture. Top with 3 or 4 uncooked noodles. On top of the uncooked noodles, spread the cottage cheese, 1 cup of the mozzarella, the grated parmesan cheese, and another cup of the sauce mixture. Top with 3 or 4 more uncooked noodles and the remaining sauce. Cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove from oven and top with remaining 1 cup of mozzarella and let stand 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
You can make this up ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator overnight even, until you're ready to bake it. The noodles soften during cooking - you don't even need to buy the kind that are specially made to be used that way. This rivals any lasagna I've ever had - it has great flavor, it's filling and makes the house smell wonderful. Serve with salad and garlic bread, it works great when you're having dinner guests.
