| | Angelina's Lasagna 1 pound of Italian Sausage 1 clove garlic, minced 1 tablespoon of dried basil, crushed 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt One 1 pound can( 2 cups) of Italian Stewed tomatoes Two 6 ounce cans of tomato paste 10 ounces of lasagna or wide noodles 3 cups of FRESH Ricotta 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan or Romano cheese 2 tablespoons of dried parsley flakes 2 well beaten eggs 1 teaspoon of salt 1/2 teaspoon of pepper 1 pound of mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced |
| Brown the sausage slowly, spoon off the excess fat. Add the next five ingredients. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook the noodles in a large amount of boiling salted water until tender, drain and rinse. Combine the remaining ingredients, except the mozzarella. Place half of the noodles in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Spread with half of the cottage cheese filling, and half of the mozzarella cheese and half the meat sauce. Repeat layers. Bake in a oven at 375ºF. for about 30 minutes. Let it stand 10 minutes before cutting into squares, the filling will set slightly. In my house this serves 9 people. Submitted By Angelina S.
