Linda Mullen's EZ Classic Lasagna

Back when Michele and I worked at KVUE-TV, a co-worker of ours shared this fantastic and incredibly easy recipe for a quite tasty lasagna. It's one of our favorite and most-used recipes.

Ingredients

16 oz cottage cheese (small curd)
1/2 cup grated parmesan
2 eggs
2 (26-oz) jars pasta sauce (your favorite)
1 (1 lb) package lasagna noodles
4 cups grated mozzarella cheese
Italian seasonsing (basil, oregano, thyme, etc.)
Optional - 1 lb. sausage or gournd beef, cooked and drained

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Combine cottage cheese, parmesan, eggs and seasoning (add salt and pepper to taste). On bottom of a 13x9x2 greased baking dish, spread 1 cup of the sauce. Top with a layer of uncooked noodles, then cottage cheese mixture, meat and finally mozzarella. Add more sauce - spread it out and repeat layers as many times as you have "stuff" left. End with a layer of mozzarella. Cover with foil. Bake 1 hour or until bubbly (I like it when the cheese browns a little, as in the picture above). Let stand covered 15 minutes before serving.

Number of servings: Linda says "8 big" but Michele and I beg to differ. (Burrrrp.)
