Simple Lasagna, Bread Sticks and Green Beans

Last Friday night this is what I made for supper. It was really easy to make and was really DELICIOUS! I ended up making 2 pans of it (instead of a 9x13 pan I used two 9 in. pans). This way we can have lasagna again some night later on in the month! The bread sticks were just the tube kind you buy in the store. We have jars and jars of canned green beans so I just heated one of those up too. ENJOY!!

Simple Lasagna:

1 pound bulk pork sausage
1 jar (26 ounces) spaghetti sauce

1/2 cup water
2 eggs, beaten
3 cups (24 ounces) 4% cottage cheese
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 to 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon each garlic powder, pepper, dried basil and oregano
9 uncooked lasagna noodles
3 cups (12 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

DIRECTIONS:

In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and water. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley and seasonings. Spread 1/2 cup meat sauce into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Layer with three noodles and a third of the cheese mixture, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers twice.

Cover and bake at 375° for 45 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until noodles are tender. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Yield: 12 servings. (http://www.tasteofhome.com/)
