Quick and Easy Lasagna
My husband likes his lasagna thick, saucy, and cheesy. I like a lasagna that tastes good, has enough leftovers to freeze for a second dinner later, and doesn't break the bank! This is the recipe I came up with to fit the bill.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F.
- 2
Meat Sauce: Cook ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat. When beef is browned and onion is tender, drain. Wipe out saucepan with a paper towel. Return meat to saucepan. Add pasta sauce and basil. Stir over medium-low heat until well blended. Turn to low heat and let simmer.
- 3
Filling: Add egg to a medium bowl and whisk well. Add parmesean cheese, cottage cheese, and gently stir until well mixed.
- 4
Spread about 1 cup of meat sauce over the bottom of a 4 quart baking dish. Add a single layer of lasagna noodles. Spread about 1 cup of the filling over noodles. Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the filling. Note that you can use a little more or less than the 1 cup measurements here for the meat sauce and filling. I usually go a little sparingly on the first two layers so that the top layer will be the thickest.
- 5
Repeat previous step to make a second layer. Repeat again to make a third and final layer, using all that remains of meat sauce, filling, and mozzarella.
- 6
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Let stand for 5-10 minutes. Enjoy!

Super Easy Lasagna Super Easy Lasagna
I've wanted to make my own lasagna since I ate one at Costco. I experimented many times to arrive at this recipe.Even if the white sauce becomes a little bit lumpy, you don't need to worry about it.I didn't need to cook the lasagna noodles in advance, but if you need to, please cook them al dente. Since the sauce contains moisture, if you cook the noodles too long, they will become soggy. The recipe makes a lot of meat sauce. If you have any leftover, you can keep it in the freezer.

Easy Lasagna Easy Lasagna
On the back of a box of Mullers Pasta, there is a recipe for an "easy lasagna bake." I've tweaked their recipe over the years. I like hot Italian sausage in mine but it's also good with sweet sausage, ground beef, or even ground turkey. This is very filling and affordable. It costs under $15.00 to make. It's about the size of a family-sized lasagna dinner you find in the frozen section at the supermarket but tastier. #Fakeaway frozen lasagna.

Extremely Easy Lasagna Extremely Easy Lasagna
I wanted to eat delicious lasagna, so I came up with this recipe!The white sauce is microwaved at 1000 W. During the 6.5 minutes, remove it several times to stir thoroughly with a whisk so that it doesn't get lumpy.When layering, line a heat-resistant dish with parchment paper so that after it is baked, it's easier to transfer to a plate.
