Baked Lasagna

From the kitchen of Connie K Lewis Zimmerman

This is one of first recipes my sister, Connie, ever shared with me. Always a crowd-pleaser!

  • 1 pound Pork Sausage
  • 1 clove Minced Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley Flakes
  • 1 tablespoon Basil Leaves
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 16-ounce can Tomatoes
  • 12 ounces Tomato Paste
  • 10 ounces Lasagna Noodles
  • 3 cups Cottage Cheese
  • 2 beaten Eggs
  • 1 teaspoons Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 pound Monterey Jack Cheese, grated

Brown sausage and drain. Combine sausage with next six ingredients and simmer 30 minutes. Cook noodles according to package directions and drain. Combine cottage cheese, eggs, remaining seasonings and Parmesan cheese in a separate bowl. In the large casserole dish, layer one-half the pasta, one-half the cottage cheese mixture, one-half of the Monterey Jack cheese and one-half of the meat sauce. Repeat layers.
