Dadderellas Simply Fantastic Lasagna
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons parsley flakes
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 lb Italian sausage
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (16 ounce) jarclassico four cheese pasta sauce
- 10 ounces pepperoni, sliced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 10 lasagna noodles
- Mix up the first 7 ingredients to create the cheese filling and set aside in fridge until ready to use.
- Brown the sausage and ground meat, adding a teaspoon of garlic salt while browning the meat.
- Drain all the fat.
- Place the meat mixture back in a saucepan and slowly add the jar of Classico Four Cheese sauce.
- Add all the other ingredients for the meat filling and simmer on the stove, partially covered, for about 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Place the noodles into boiling garlic-salted water and cook until soft when poked with a fork.
- When the noodles are done, drain the noodles and rinse off with cold water so they can be handled easily.
- Spray the baking pan with a non-stick spray and put a layer of noodles down on the bottom of the pan.
- It is OK to cut some of the noodles to fit into the pan if they do not fit whole.
- Spread half the cheese filling over the noodles, then half of the grated mozzarella cheese on top of that, then half of the meat sauce over the mozzarella cheese.
- Ensure the meat sauce covers the cheese entirely.
- Next add a layer of Pepperoni across the whole layer of meat sauce.
- REPEAT layers one more time (noodles, cheese filling, mozzarella, meat sauce, then pepperoni).
- Top the final layer of pepperoni with the rest of the grated mozzarella cheese.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 35 minutes.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into it.
