Wondering what to do with leftover sauce when you make Jo Mama's World Famous Spaghetti? Here is the perfect answer. Don't skimp on the sauce--this is best when you use 6-7 cups of sauce. Prep time assumes you have already made sauce. I like to make this up in 2 smaller casseroles so I can serve my family one and freeze the 2nd one for later.

SERVES 12 , 2 casseroles (change servings and units)

Ingredients

6-7 cups jo mama's world famous spaghetti sauce (Jo Mama's World Famous Spaghetti on Recipezaar)
1 (16 ounce) box extra wide lasagna noodles
1 (32 ounce) carton cottage cheese
1 teaspoon oregano
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (divided)
1 1/2 lbs mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

1
Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions, drain and cut to fit pan.
2
In small bowl, mix cottage cheese, oregano, salt and 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
3
Using two deep 9 x 7-inch glass baking pans or one deep 9 x 13-inch casserole dish, make a layer of noodles followed with 1/2 cottage cheese mixture, 1/2 mozzarella cheese and 1/3 sauce.
4
Follow with another noodle layer, remaining cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and 1/3 sauce.
5
Top this with a final noodle layer covered with remaining sauce.
6
Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese over top.
7
Bake in 350°F oven for 30-40 minutes until casserole is bubbling and slightly browned on top.
8
Let cool for 15 minutes before serving so lasagna can firm up for easier slicing and serving.

I have never been a huge fan of lasagna and that's probably because I have never found a recipe that I really liked. Well I have FINALLY found one! It is a definite MUST to use Jo Mama's World Famous Spaghetti Sauce for this recipe. (I made some alterations based on other reviews. The original sauce recipe calls for 2lbs of Italian sausage. I used 1lb of Mild Italian sausage and 1lb ground beef. I used 6 cloves of garlic, 1/2 cup water, 1 tbsp sugar, 1 1/2 tsp dried basil, 1/2 tsp fennel seeds, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, and 2 tbsp fresh parsley [instead of dried]). In the lasagna recipe I used 475 grams of ricotta (instead of cottage cheese) mixed with 1 egg, 2 tbsp fresh parsley, & 1/2 tsp salt. I also used 1/4 cup more parmesan cheese. For the layers I did 1/3 sauce, 6 noodles, 1/2 of mozarella, 1/3 parmesan cheese. 2nd layer: 1/3 sauce, 6 noodles, ricotta cheese mix, 1/3 parmesan cheese. 3rd layer: last 1/3 sauce, last 6 noodles, the other 1/2 mozarella, and remaining parmesan cheese. HANDS DOWN THE BEST LASAGNA I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!

This was fantastic! I used cottage cheese and added a box of thawed frozen spinach. YUM, this was gobbled up by my 5 boys and hubby. I to used the left over spag. sauce. This was a big hit, thank you.

I used Sharlene's recipe to make lasagna for my cooking and recipes group. The lasagna was excellent, and everyone loved it! I did use 8 oz. of 2% milk Ricotta and 24 oz. of fat free cottage cheese. I put them in my blender and mixed along with 1 egg, 1 tsp. parsley and 1 tsp. salt. It came out kind of soupy and poured easily between the layers. When the lasagna was baked it settled and worked beautifully. Flavor was great! I also used her spaghetti sauce recipe to see if it was better than mine, and I have to say, they are both 5+ star recipes, and I don't say that lightly :D Thank you Sharlene for another great Zaar recipe! Pictures coming shortly. Linda
