Luann's Lasagna

This recipe is from my mom, Luann

1 Jar Spaghetti sauce
1 lb ground beef/turkey
8 oz shredded Mozarella cheese
Sliced Mozarella cheese (for the top)
8 oz pkg lowfat cottage cheese
lasagna noodles
salt/pepper to taste - in sauce

Brown meat, drain off fat and mix in sauce. At the same time, cook noodles, then drain. While meat and nooddles are cooking, combine shredded cheese and cottage cheese together.

Line bottom of 11x13 pan with noodles, put meat/sauce mixture on top of noodles, top with shredded mozarella/cottage cheese mixture, then repeat layers again. Repeat one more time, but put noodles, meat/sauce mixture and then top with sliced cheese. Bake at 350 for about 30 min or until bubbling or cheese on top starts to brown. Let cool for a few minutes before cutting.

Note: I usually make the night before or during nap time, then just pop it in the oven. If it was refrigerated overnight it may need to cook longer than if you just made it and put in oven.

Alternate: Add some chopped spinach to the sauce.

Serve with a veggie or salad and some garlic toast - yummy. Makes great leftovers too!
