Servings: persons

9 lasagna noodles, shells (cooked according to package directions)
Combine
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (I use chuck)
salt (season to taste)
pepper
garlic salt
1/2 onion (sauteed, can use other vegs. like mushrooms, peppers, etc)
1 (1 1/3 kg) jar pasta sauce (I use 2lb 13oz jar of Ragu Traditional)
Blend Together
16 ounces cottage cheese (can also use ricotta)
1 egg (slightly beaten with fork)
2 cups cheese (mozzarella or Italian blend works good)
salt (lightly)
pepper
Top
2 cups cheese (mozzarella or Italian blend to top)

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F
2
Boil and cook shells as directed
3
Brown ground beef, season, and drain grease (reserve 1 tsp).
4
Saute onions (or other vegetables in same pan using approx 1 tsp reserved grease -- add more if needed or use butter or other oil).
5
combine ground beef, onions, and pasta sauce in same pan. cover and simmer on low while you prepare the rest of the meal. Stir occasionally.
6
Mix cottage cheese, egg, then salt and pepper lightly. Mix well and add 2 cups cheese. Mix again.
7
Spray a 13x9 inch baking pan and begin to layer in order -- shells, cottage cheese mix, meat sauce (repeat 3 times) and finish off by topping 1-2 cups mozzarella or Italian blend cheese onto lasagna.
8
Bake for 20-30 minutes uncovered or until cheese is melted to your preference. I like to sprinkle an Italian blend seasoning or crushed red pepper on our individual servings. We serve this with garlic bread and a salad.
9
Let stand approximately 20 minutes before cutting/serving (to set up or else it is too saucy). I use this time to make the salad and toast the garlic bread. This meal tastes even better the next day!
