Cook your lasagna noodles until they’re just right (al dente, if you want to sound fancy). Drain and cool them in cold water so they don’t stick.
Brown your beef with some diced onions and garlic. Pour in a little red wine (or beef broth), then stir in Sturdy Sauce Marinara. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
In a bowl, mix up the cottage cheese, ricotta, 1 cup of mozzarella, egg, and parsley. This is your creamy, dreamy cheese layer that’ll make your lasagna irresistible
Grab a 9x13 dish and spread a bit of that meaty sauce on the bottom. Lay down some noodles, spread on the cheese, and top it with more sauce. Repeat the layers until you are satisfied.
Top your lasagna with the last bit of sauce and a full cup of mozzarella. The cheese will melt into a perfect, golden crust that makes this lasagna extra special.
Cover your dish with foil (toothpicks keep the cheese from sticking) and bake at 375°F for 45 minutes. Then, uncover and broil for 3-5 minutes to get that cheese golden and bubbly.
Let your lasagna sit for 30 minutes before you dig in. Trust us. It’s worth the wait.
