Effortless Lasagna Recipe: No Pre-Cook Noodles Needed

Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (4.5 ounce) can mushrooms, drained
• 1 (28 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
• 1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
• 1 pint part-skim ricotta cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
• 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and gather all of your ingredients for the recipe.
2. Prepare the sauce: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in onion and mushrooms, and sauté until the onions become translucent. Mix in the pasta sauce and heat through. Set the sauce aside.
3. Make the cheese filling: In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, eggs, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
4. Spread a thin layer of meat sauce evenly in the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Layer with uncooked lasagna noodles, the cheese filling, mozzarella cheese, and more meat sauce. Repeat layering until all ingredients are used, reserving 1/2 cup of mozzarella for the topping. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the top. Continue baking until the cheese is melted and bubbly, approximately 15 more minutes. Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
6. Serve warm and savor each bite!
