Sarah's Lasagna

Yum, lasagna, one of our favorites that we don't get to enjoy very often! One of the big changes I make to lasagna is that I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta. I really don't care for ricotta and the cottage cheese is so yummy!

Ingredients:
1 lb gound beef browned in the skillet
chopped garlic
chopped green or red onions
meat seasonings of your choice

2 tbsp corn starch
16 oz (1 lb) container LF 1% or FF cottage cheese

7 oz package 2% italian blend cheese
OR a 1/2 bag of paremssan and a 1/2 bag morarella

2 lb jar of Prego spagetti sauce
green herbs of your choice (oregano, parsley, dill and whatever else green I have)

approx 6-9 lasagna noodles (uncooked is fine)


Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*

Spray a 9 x 13 pan with pam. Pour a thin layer of spagetti sauce in the bottom.

In a LARGE skillet, brown the meat, onions, garlic and meat seasonings in pan. When done, add rest of spagetti sauce and herbs to pan and simmer for a few minutes.

In a small bowl mix cottage cheese, corn starch and a little cheese.

Layer in pan, noodles, half the cottage cheese mixture, thin layer of cheese, a little over half the sauce, noodles, rest of cottage cheese mixture, rest of sauce reserving a small amount, noodles, rest of sauce and rest of cheese as you like.

Cover with foil and bake for 50-60 minutes.
