QUICK MEALS

Easy Lasagna Rating:

Although the dish is generally believed to have originated in Italy, the word "lasagna" comes from the Greek (lasana) or (lasanon) meaning "trivet or stand for a pot", "chamber pot". The Romans borrowed the word as "lasanum", in Latin, meaning "cooking pot". The Italians used the word to refer to the dish in which lasagna is made. It wasn't long before the name of the food took on the name of the serving dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 1-3/4 cups water
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 1 envelope spaghetti sauce mix
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups (16 ounces) fat-free cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 6 uncooked lasagna noodles
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Coletta was truly a remarkable cook.  I know a lot of people say that, but she was the genuine article
Directions:
In a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomatoes, water, tomato paste and spaghetti sauce mix. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    In a small bowl, combine the egg, cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese. Spread 2 cups meat sauce in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Layer with three noodles,  half of cottage cheese mixture and half of remaining meat sauce. Repeat layers.
    Cover and bake at 350° for 50 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Yield: 9 servings.
