MY FAVORITE LASAGNA
This is one of my Mom's recipes. I'm very picky about lasagna. I like this one the best because it has cottage cheese in it and isn't as dry as many others. Feel free to add more cheese and/or sauce. I usually just eye-ball it. Also, I love to use the sauce from Recipe #22782. If you make the full amount of the sauce from that recipe, this recipe will use about half. You will not need the ground beef/sausage if your sauce already has meat added.

LASAGNA
In 2001, Regina Schrambling went on a week long odyssey in search of the ultimate lasagna recipe. She tested several, and finally found her ideal in a mash-up of recipes from Giuliano Bugialli and Elodia Rigante, both Italian cookbook authors. "If there were central casting for casseroles, this one deserved the leading role. But its beauty was more than cheese deep. This was the best lasagna I had ever eaten. The sauce was intensely flavored, the cheeses melted into creaminess as if they were bechamel, the meat was just chunky enough, and the noodles put up no resistance to the fork. Most important, the balance of pasta and sauce was positively Italian. At last I could understand why my neighbor Geoff had told me, as I dragged home more bags in our elevator, that all-day lasagna is the only kind worth making."

Steps:
- For the sauce, heat 1/2 cup oil in a large heavy Dutch oven or kettle over low heat. Add the onions, minced garlic and pancetta, and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes, until the onions are wilted. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Raise heat slightly, add the wine and cook until it is mostly reduced, about 20 minutes. Crush the tomatoes into the pan, and add their juice. Add the tomato paste and 2 cups lukewarm water. Simmer for 1 hour.
- Combine the sirloin, cheese and eggs in a large bowl. Chop the parsley with the whole garlic until fine, then stir into the beef mixture. Season lavishly with salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix until all the ingredients are well blended. Shape into meatballs and set aside.
- Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Dust the meatballs lightly with flour, shaking off excess, and lay into the hot oil. Brown the meatballs on all sides (do not cook through) and transfer to the sauce.
- In a clean skillet, brown the sausages over medium-high heat. Transfer to the sauce. Simmer 1 1/2 hours.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, eggs, pecorino Romano, parsley and all but 1 cup of the mozzarella. Season well with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Remove the meatballs and sausage from the sauce, and set aside to cool slightly, then chop coarsely. Spoon a thick layer of sauce into the bottom of a 9-by-12-inch lasagna pan. Cover with a layer of noodles. Spoon more sauce on top, then add a third of the meat and a third of the cheese mixture. Repeat for 2 more layers, using all the meat and cheese. Top with a layer of noodles, and cover with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle reserved mozzarella evenly over the top. Bake 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

MY "FAMOUS" LASAGNA

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large frying pan, brown ground beef with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Drain meat when done and add back to the pan. Add the spaghetti sauce - just enough sauce to make the meat wet, but you don't want more sauce than meat. Simmer until you are ready to layer the lasagna.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl thoroughly mix sour cream, cottage cheese and cream cheese with 3 tablespoons of parmesan and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- 3. Boil about 12 lasagna noodles; drain them when cooked, usually about 10 minutes.
- 4. You are ready to layer your lasagna! (Use a lasagna pan deep enough for about 3 layers.) 1.) Spoon a small amount of meat mixture on bottom of pan so noodles won't stick. 2.) Layer 3 lasagna noodles topped with a layer of the meat mixture. 3.) Now carefully add a layer of the cheese mixture, lightly dropping spoonfuls and smoothing it out. 4.) Next add a layer of shredded cheddar - enough to coat the white sauce - and then sprinkle with some grated parmesan cheese. 5.) Repeat previous layer 2 more times. (You should end up with the top layer of the lasagna being the shredded cheddar cheese.) 6.) The last layer is the shredded mozzarella. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the cheddar, just enough to cover.
- 5. Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for about 40 minutes. At that point turn broil on low until top is golden brown, about 8 minutes.
- 6. Let the lasagna sit out for at least 30 minutes before serving. Cut into squares and ENJOY!!! NOTE: You can freeze this lasagna for up to 3 months in an airtight container that has been placed inside a freezer bag.
MY FAVORITE LASAGNA
A gooey, cheesy, and easy lasagna recipe! The homemade sauce is thick, slightly sweet, and a touch spicy. It's the perfect complement to the savory cheesy layer. The heat of the hot sausage in this recipe is totally mellowed by all the other creamy goodness. Easy to follow, anyone can make this and it will be impressive when...
