Le Lasagne Autentiche Siciliane Supreme Recipes

SUPREME LASAGNA

Steps:

• Cook meats, onion and garlic in large skillet over med-high heat until meat is brown, stirring to separate meat; drain fat.
• Add tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, basil and marjoram.
• Reduce heat to low, cover; simmer 15 minutes, stirring often. Stir in mushrooms, set aside.
• Beat eggs in large bowl; add cottage cheese, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well.
• Place 1/2 of the noodles in bottom of greased 13x9-inch pan.
• Spread 1/2 of cheese mixture over noodles, 1/2 of meat mixture and 1/2 of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
• Repeat layers. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan.
• Bake in preheated 375 degree oven 40 to 45 minutes or until bubbly.
• Let stand 10 minutes.
• Note: I almost always substitute fresh mushrooms for canned, and sometimes substitute Italian seasoning for the basil and morjaram. I wanted to post the original recipe, but I think these substitutions make the recipe better.
