4 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 lb lean ground buffalo meat
1 bunch fresh sage, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground mustard
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon fennel
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 fresh tomatoes, diced
6 ounces tomato paste
15 ounces tomato sauce
1 bunch fresh thyme, removed from stem and finely chopped
1 bunch fresh oregano, removed from stem and finely chopped
1 bunch fresh basil, removed from the stem and finely chopped
2 fresh bay leaves
3/4 cup good cabernet sauvignon wine
3/4 lb grated fat free mozzarella cheese
4 tablespoons fresh curly-leaf parsley, finely chopped
24 ounces fat-free cottage cheese
4 egg whites
8 whole wheat lasagna noodles
non stick aluminum foil

1
Preheat oven for 350.
2
Saute mushrooms, onion, and garlic in olive oil.
3
Add buffalo meat, sage, nutmeg, ground mustard, ginger, fennel, salt, and pepper. Saute until buffalo meat is just browned. Do not overcook.
4
Add tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, thyme, oregano, basil, bay leaves, and cabernet. Let simmer for at least and hour. I let it simmer for 2-3 hours and then store it in the fridge overnight. This allows for all of the flavors to really come out.

Combine cottage cheese, 1/2 lb of the mozzarella, egg whites, and parsley.
7
Pour 1/2 of sauce in baking dish.
