Lasagna

1 lb ground beef (browned & drained)
1 clove garlic
1 Tbsp parsley flakes
1 Tbsp basil
2 tsp salt
1 can diced tomatoes
1 6 oz can tomato paste

- Mix ingredients above and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes. Do not over cook, the sauce should still be juicy, if it's not you can add a little tomato juice. Set aside as the meat mixture.

1 1/2 cartons (3 cups) large curd cottage cheese (you can just use two whole cartons & it will be fine too)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp parsley flakes

- Mix these ingredients together and set aside as the cheese mixture

1 lb Mozzarella Cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1 10 oz package of lasagna noodles

-Grease 9x13 pan. Arrange noodles to cover the bottom of pan. Spread half the cheese mixture, half the mozzarella cheese and then half the meat mixture. *Repeat layers again then end wit Parmesan cheese sprinkled on the top. Cover with foil and bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes.

* I like to add a layer of pepperoni in the center. Good stuff.

This can be made ahead and frozen
