Jo Mama's World Famous Lasagna

Recipe #28559 | 50 min | 15 min prep | add private note

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

Directions

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

    This is such a simple recipe to follow. I love cottage cheese in our lasagna and this is great. I will use this recipe often. Thank you so much for sharing.

    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
