Lasagna
Never been much of a lasagna person but my fiancée really loves it and so I found a basic recipe online and tweaked it to our tastes and it turned out great! This one is more meat heavy and has less ricotta.

- 1
In a Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and broth. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for at least 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. (I cooked mine 2-3 hrs and made the night before)

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. (if you use no boil noodles you can skip this step and just layer as is)
- 3
In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a dash of nutmeg
- 4
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

To assemble, spread some meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish (I used a disposable oversized lasagna pan). Arrange noodles over meat sauce (I think I only used 4 noodles per layer). Spread noodles w/ ricotta cheese mixture. Spoon meat sauce over ricotta mix, and top with mozz/parm/romano cheese. Repeat layers (I made 3 layers)
- 6
Cover with foil. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. (I made mine the night before to allow flavors to meld and had to cook a bit longer since it was starting out cold). Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

I've made this several of times. It originally was a cheese lasagna but I tweaked it a little bit. I kind of merged it with another lasagna recipe. I suggest that you double the cheese mixture just because I always run out of it before I'm done. But other than that, I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Some people will prefer ricotta cheese over cottage cheese., but I prefer the cottage cheese. Lasagna is like spaghetti in the fact that individual recipes vary so much. I always say, "Try it my way and if you think it lacks something or you dont care for something in it, change it. Tweek it. Make it your own. Own it!"

I've always loved lasagna but never ate it at restaurants because it would always come out too greasy, and since I like to eat on the healthier side, I avoid it. So that's what I thought to myself let's make a healthier lasagna, less oil, healthy meat, and cheese.If you're a lasagna lover like me and enjoy a healthy Pasta meal this is the recipe you're looking for
