Food I Cooked For Other People

On our dinner night on vacation, I made my mom's lasagna. Being German and all, you know she can make a great pan of lasagna! It's really good-- seriously.

Lasagna
1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 26 oz jar spaghetti sauce
12 lasagna noodles
16 oz cottage cheese
1/2 c. parmesan cheese
2 T fresh parsley, chopped
1 T dried oregano
8 oz. shredded mozzarella

Cook beef and onion until beef is browned, drain off grease. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer for a few minutes.
Heat oven to 350. Cook noodles if using the type that need to be pre-cooked (I use the type that don't need to be pre-cooked and there's no taste difference).
Mix together cottage cheese, 1/4 c. parmesan, parsley and oregano.
Spread 1 c. sauce mixture in ungreased 13x9 glass baking dish.
Top with 4 noodles.
Spread 1 c. of the cheese mixture over the noodles.
Spread with 1 c. sauce mixture.
Sprinkle with 2/3 c. mozzarella.
Repeat with 4 noodles, remaining cheese mixture, 1 c. sauce and 2/3 c. mozzarella.
Top with remaining noodles and sauce mixture.
Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and 1/4 c. parmesan.
Cover with foil and bake 30 min. Uncover and bake 20 minutes more until bubbly and browning. Let stand about 20 minutes before cutting.
