The ingredients needed to make Traditional Lasagna:
  1. Make ready Meat sauce

  12. Get 3 eggs
  13. Prepare 3 tbsp minced fresh parsley (I used 1 tbl spoon dried)
  14. Take 3 cup small-curd cottage cheese/ 24 oz. (This is where I changed it up a bit, I used 16 oz of cottage cheese, and 15 oz of ricotta.)
  15. Prepare 1 packages ricotta cheese / 8oz. (As stated above, I used 15 oz of ricotta)
  16. Prepare 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

  18. Make ready 9 Lasagna noodles, cooked and drained (I always make a few extra, just in case some break while cooking)

  20. Make ready 3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

The wait is well worth it. It's a great dish to make for a crowd and easy to adjust for varying tastes. The leftovers are even better when reheated the next day. We took a couple shortcuts for this traditional lasagna recipe by using store-bought marinara and boxed pasta sheets.

Instructions to make Traditional Lasagna:
  1. In a large skillet, cook beef and pork over medium heat until no longer pink, drain.
  2. Boil salted water, add noodles, cook till aldente, turn off heat, keep in pot until assembling
  3. Add tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat, simmer, uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. (This thickened up for me in no more then 30 minutes, so be sure to watch it! )
  5. Now preheat oven to 375°F
  6. In a large bowl, combine eggs, parsley, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese and parmesan cheese.
  7. Spread 1 cup of meat sauce in an UNgreased 13x9x2 inch baking dish.
  8. Layer with 3 noodles, provolone cheese, 2 cups of cheese mixture, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  9. Layer 3 noodles, 2 cups of meat sauce, remaining cheese mixture, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
  10. Top with the 3 remaining noodles, meat sauce, and mozzarella cheese. (Dish will be full!)
  11. Cover with tin foil (I lightly spray the "touching side" with Pam so the cheese doesn't stick to the foil when removed)
  12. Bake at 375°F for 50 minutes. Uncover, and bake 20 minutes longer, or until heated through. Let stand for 15 minutes (I always wait about 30 minutes, just to insure all the layers won't spill out when cut)

It saves a ton of time without sacrificing any flavor. In a skillet, cook beef and sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, oregano, and bay leaf to skillet. A traditional lasagna, with about half the time and effort!
