I need a lasagna recipe asap?!


Question: I need a lasagna recipe asap!?
Hey there, so I just remembered that my boyfriend and his parents are coming over for dinenr, and I said I"d make it!. Yay!. ANyways, I'm in a bit of a crunch, since I can't go to the store, and I have some basic ingredients, but can you give me a recipe using what I have!? I have: Cottage cheese, mozeralla or parmesan cheese (Not sure which one it is!.) cheddar chees, tomato sauce, I might have tomato paste, and of course the noodles!.

Now for my meat: I have chicken breast and steak, I know, it's not really lasagna meat, but I was thinking of cutting up strips from the chicken breast and layering them!? help!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Chop up the chicken into bit sized pieces and heat it up in a skillet until cooked through!. Add the spaghetti sauce and heat through!. Get out a 13" X 9" (or something similar)baking pan and place a little sauce on the bottom so the noodles don't stick!. No need to cook the noodles first!. Place one layer of noodles in the bottom of the pan!. Pour a layer of the sauce/chicken mixture over the noodles (about half of the sauce mixture)!. Next layer about half of the cottage cheese over the sauce followed by a layer of half the mozzarella cheese (not sure how Parmesan would taste with this)!. Repeat the layers, ending with the mozzarella cheese!. Place in the over at 350 degrees F, for about 50 minutes!. Poke it with a fork to make sure the noodles are done!. You may need to leave it in a little longer!. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving!. Hope this helps!. :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

alright the way I see it you have three options:1!.it sounds like you have all of the perfect ingredients to make a nice vegetarian lasagna and you can forget about the meat and just put in the cheese,or 2!.you could boil the noodles and the chicken breasts to make a nice chicken soup and then serve that and the steak,or 3!.you could always just make the lasagne like a cheese one and then add the steak or chicken to it!.I hope that this helps you out a little bit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
